Surprising My DH

[aweilba]

...with a newly painted kitchen when he returns home tomorrow afternoon! While at Lowe's last night getting trim paint, I totally found the perfect color for my kitchen and bought it this morning. I'd been trying to find a color that I liked for a while now, so I was stoked. It's Valspar's Summerhouse Blue. I'm loving the color and how clean and crisp it makes our white trim and cabinets look. He has no clue, and I'm bad at keeping secrets, so hopefully I can keep this one! I'm taking a lunch break now, but I'll post some pictures once it's done!

What an awesome surprise for DH! I can't wait to see pics of the finished project.

I lived in an apartment where I had painted the kitchen a color very similar to evening shadow from Sherwin Williams (a blueish-gray). I had painted the cabinets and trim bright white and it looked amazing with all the white appliances and my stainless accessories. It was bright and clean looking.

I am kicking myself for not taking pics of the major transformation that took place in that apartment. All from a good cleaning and some paint.

I wish I could convince DH to do something similar again.

haha, a painted kitchen wouldn't even make my husband raise an eyebrow. I am always painting - we're on our third house in 7 years and I repaint every square inch of each one, and after a couple years usually choose a new color for half the rooms too! He's so used to coming home to find me painting that he doesn't even comment now..
That's awesome you found the perfect color!

YAY! Enjoy your new paint job.

I saw the pics in your update. Looks great!

I just have to add I'm with Peach. I could paint my kitchen neon pink and H wouldn't a) Notice until Christmas b) Care.
