I got it into my head to paint the kitchen this weekend. After five years of musk-stick-pink, a colour so vile I don't even have a photo of it on-hand, enough was enough. I wanted sunshiny springy colours, and spent hours (ok, an hour) poring over Dulux and Nippon paint chips online.
A Bunnings Run later, and we came home with Taubman's "Lime Frost". Under lights it looked soft, green-yellow, maybe a little cold, but otherwise everything I'd wanted in a kitchen paint colour.
This was the first coat:
A little bright, but could be worse. At least it's not nuclear yellow, right? A word to the wise: that fluoro stuff makes an awful drop-cloth.
The second coat went on greener, paler than the first.
I was much happier with the result, but it's still so YELLOW! Where's that soft spring-green-new-growth shade the chip promised?
The final outcome, after it's had nearly five hours to dry. Is that a bit of green showing in the light? Whatever it is, it does look so much better without the blue tape. Next job, woodwork, ceilings and cornices, oh my! (And maybe we'll finally get the skirting board behind the freezer fixed).
