Colors make me happy!

And the kitchen color is guaranteed to knock anyone out of a glum spell. Eric and I cleaned up the guest bathroom this evening- vacuuming up all of the drywall dust and chunks. Then he removed the extra slim-plank flooring that covered 1/3 of the room. We had to tear that up and we'll have some holes to fill in (where old heat registers were). Then we've got a self-leveling floor concrete to pour on that will serve as the base for our eventual tiling. While Eric used the prybar, I was wielding the roller brush in the kitchen and laying down a coat of Mustard Gold paint (http://www.materials-world.com/paint-colors/valspar_lows_laura_ashley/laura_ashley/laura_ashley_06.htm). It's a pretty bright mustard-y yellow that we chose because it works nicely with both our muted slatey floor tiles and the colorful Mexican tiles we intend to use as the backsplash in the kitchen.
