Kitchen "Face Lift"

[Freedom]

VERY nice, and you will surely enjoy that! The contrast in wall color is lovely, warm and inviting. Just don't think of the NAME of that color too often, you will always be hungry and USING that new kitchen, lol!

The change in curtains and ceiling lights made a bit impact as well. Wondering if you put those energy saver bulbs in the new lights? It seems a much softer glow, but that "could" be due to the change in wall color. If you find it too dark at night (especially in the winter) those energy saver bulbs come in a "daylight" which is much whiter light. I have that in the kitchen and home office, but not in the living room and bedrooms.

Give that man a special dinner!

While I really liked the "before" pictures very much - I LOVE the new warm color Bet you will enjoy cooking up some of your wonderful recipes in the new environment. Such an inviting room!! Thank you for sharing the facelift with us.

The bulbs are actually flourescent tubes, so they are the old style bulb. They give a brighter glow to the room, and I really like it.

I sent the pictures to my mom, and I just know she's going to be unhappy with what I've done. She loved the white of the kitchen (I hated it... always looking dirty and cold), so I know I'm going to get a "lecture" about what I've done now, lol.
