Kitchen Redo

I started on my project to repaint my kitchen today. I painted it red and fauxed it with several other reds and bronze when we moved in but I never really liked it. My sweet friend Brooke recently sewed me new curtains so I decided now was the time to repaint. I have a baby gate on order to put up between the living room and kitchen and as soon as it's here I will start painting. Right now though I have started taping (I hate that part) and doing as much prep work as I can. I will be painting it in two tones of neutral in a diamond pattern. One will be a high gloss finish and the other will be a satin finish. It took me 3 months to get it painted the first time and I didn't have a kid then so we will see how fast it goes this time. :)
