♥ Paint paint paint...

Here is a before picture of the kitchen window with plain old white...

And here it is with "Fairy Lilly". A fresh country yellow color...

This is on the other side of the kitchen I thought I'd show the contrast with the blue counter tops, the wood cabinets and yellow paint. The counters aren't my favorite but it's what was here so that's what we get...

This is the dining room when we first moved in...

...and this is the dining room now... I was having a really hard time getting a good picture of the color so it's between these two pictures. Not quite as bright as the bottom one but a little brighter than the top one...

So now I have to figure out if I'm going to put the shelf back on the same wall or if I should put it on the other one?

Looks great! I am impressed that you were able to get it all done...now you can come do mine! :) (Thought - When your microwave dies get one that goes above your stove, I love mine and it saves so much counter space.)
