Exploring with Color.......

The only time that I ever remember this anxious and nervous all at once was while my dd, Amber was in labor last week. I must have gotten some mid-life crisis or have became an adrenaline junkie because today I am taking the leap to paint my kitchen RED!

I've spent the entire morning, other than uploading the previous pics, taping off trim, putting plastic over the kitchen cabinets and countertops in preparation of painting it. I have one coat on the blacksplash and here I am feeling very overwhelmed and I'm just getting started, ROFLOL! What if I don't like it? What if it is doesn't turn out the shade of red I envisioned? And just how hard is it to re-paint over Red walls?

Anyways, above is my color palette...... The ruby red is more red and less orange shown on my computer monitor and the golden butterscotchy-sunflower color will only be a touch added to an alcover where our refrigerator is. The greens are possible colors for the backwall and door leading to the rear deck; although I didn't pick it up yet and now I'm even questioning that. I'm thinking maybe saving the yellow and the greens for more of my accessories colors along with more shades of reds in my rooster collection and table accessories.

Please tell me my kitchen will look fantastic when done and I'm just being jittery because it's such a BOLD color scheme.............. LOL!

{Just what the hell am I doing?} I think it is simply that I've never experimented so brazenly with color in my home ever before that I am so anxious. And I have to hand it to anyone who has ever attempted this--- painting with red definately takes some brass b*lls!!!!!

I tried to take some before photographs with my digital camera, only to discover my batteries are dead! Sheesh, and I even asked about batteries and look at rechargers but then remembered I had one from my previous digital......... now do you think I know where they are? What a crazy life I live!!!!
