1 Coat of Paint Done, 1 to Go!

Last night we put the second coat of primer on the walls, which went on much faster than the first. I guess the walls didn't soak up nearly as much primer as the first time around, so it didn't take nearly as much. We then let it dry for an hour while we watched the new episode of Grey's Anatomy. Although we had a late start, we then went ahead and put the first coat of paint on the walls. It was our first choice color, as we really liked it when we painted our living and dining rooms, but it just didn't work as well in those rooms. We color matched Restoration Hardware's Silver Sage paint. It's a really pretty shade of silvery, green gray with hints of blue in it. I'm attaching the picture from the RH website, but it changes color in different lights, so it doesn't look exactly like this in our kitchen. Regardless, so far we love it! Tonight we're putting the second coat of paint on the walls, touching up the ceiling and trim, and getting the cabinets all set to be installed tomorrow!!
