I should add that, while I do not have that kitchen (nor can I paint), I do have that ceiling in my house.

Why is that chair in front of the oven? How do you get out from behind that counter? Do they know that two apples rolled out of the fruit basket? Shouldn't that milk go back in the Frigidaire before it spoils? Do you think she painted that picture of oranges?

We had those cabinets... on ONE wall, next to original solid-wood glass fronts from 1917.

WOW, they were ugly and cheap.

And those easy-clean, matching Formica© ceiling panels. . .

I am SO building that kitchen in The Sims.

Sims love angles. "Sul-sul!" "Dag-dag!"

What are you doing honey?
Painting the kitchen.
Great give it two coats to cover that awful yellow.
I'm not sure you understand.

That yellow hurts my eyes.

I have that kitchen. Well, not quite, but very damn close. Yellow-topped counters? Check. Wood grain cabinets? Check. Except mine have little round yellow knobs like clown noses instead of proper handles. Yellow walls/ceiling/trim? Checkety-check-o-rama!! Original range from 1964? Yup. Mostly working except for the occasional spark if you turn on the largest burner.

It's not the colour that I hate, although that fucking bites arse. It's that you can't keep it clean - every time you wash or scrub, something falls apart and because the countertops have worn badly, you can't bleach the stains out and it all looks grotty even though it's surgically sterile.

So I dream of the day - soon, soon - when I get to tear that fucking kitchen out and send it to the hell it came from. I swear to gods above and below that when I take a sledgehammer to that nasty mess of yellow grief, I'm gonna drag it out into the front lawn and set fire to it.

I love that kitchen. That's like my dream kitchen except possibly for the way you have to scramble over the countertops to get to your comfy chair by the stove; that could get ugly after a bottle or two of wine. I mean, terra cotta tile floors? High arched ceiling? Brick, uh, whatever the reason for the exposed brick is. It's totally glamorous. Plus you can PAINT in it.

Ah, the chair is pulled out to give the idea that there is knee space, for the lady of the house to sit in her kitchen, and thoughtfully compose her shopping list and/or party menu. I like to think there is a flip-top to the counter, like in a bar, so that when you are in the kitchen, you are in the kitchen, no way out.
