I painted the kitchen and....

I don't think I like it


Im not a color person. I like beige. I'd paint the whole thing beige if I could. I got talked out of it and painted it yellow and Im not sure I dig it.


Heres the before.



Heres the today. Its brighter in person

Dont mind that space theres a door that goes over it.

Re: I painted the kitchen and....

I actually like it. I love color, especially after we did our living room in brown tones, its so drab and I long for color! Live with it for a few days and maybe you'll change your mind?

Re: I painted the kitchen and....

I Like it too, but my kitchen is yellow (with navy and beige accents)
Can't tell how bright it is in the picture but I think if you put your window treatments up and decorate the walls, you'll love the cheeriness of it ...especially in the morning!

Oh god girls I hope so

Re: I painted the kitchen and....

i like it too ( :

but most of my downstairs is painted a soft yellow. if oyu really are unhappy with it but want to compromise and keep yellow, i have a very soft yellow/buttery color called oklahoma wheat by behr. my dh hated yellow and HE likes it. if you ever want to stop by and see you are welcome to, and in wont be upset if you hate it!

but like its been said, live with it for a bit. youlll know by the 7th day if you walk in and it makes you cringe, then you should repaint!

Re: I painted the kitchen and....

Kristin I think it looks great. Once you put some stuff on the wall, it will break up the color a bit and won't look so bright and colorful. I love that color, I would put accents of reds, lime greens and oranges...a mexican theme. Man do I need a house!!

Re: I painted the kitchen and....

the old owners of our home had painted the hall yellow it was nice, but broke up the house so we painted over it. it was a bit softer than the one you painted. Perhaps if you repainted with white primer and then chose a softer yellow you would be happier.

I think it looks nice. Maybe you'll get used to it after a few days.

Re: I painted the kitchen and....

I think it looks nice, especially with your new floor. I felt the same way though after I painted our spare bedroom yellow. It actually looks very similar to the color you used. I think ours was BM Hawthorne yellow or something like that. But after a while it grew on me. The bedroom also has it's own bathroom that I painted the same color and in such a small room I thought it was way too bright so I used "the woolie" roller to add some white to tone it down a bit. But, it doesn't matter now anyway. DH is actually upstairs right now repainting the room so it can become our nursery.
