Lauren and I have been some painting fools the last week, and we've painted the half bath downstairs, the den downstairs, the dining area, and the kitchen. The half bath was the first room painted, and it is a greenish brown color that looks really good in the right light, as pictured below:
We painted the den a color called "Gold Coin" which is a tan/gold color, and we painted the bricks at the fireplace white and the mantle black to match the railing upstairs (which we also had to paint).
The dining area is a brighter yellow, called "Lemon Ice." As I mentioned, the railing was painted black, and the trim is white. We had to get our friend, Kerry, who is 6'8" to come and paint the corner above the stairs, but other than that we were able to handle it ourselves.
The kitchen is also yellow, and we gave the cabinets a fresh coat of white paint and installed a toe kick on the cabinets. We still have to figure out what to do with the gap in the cabinets, but other than that, the kitchen if fully functional.
I'll post more pictures after more work gets done. We also have the hall bathroom upstairs done, but I'll post pictures of that when I have pictures of the rest of the upstairs to post.
