I love paint!

Oh boy, I've got spring-fever!  About 8 years ago I painted our brown cabinets white.  It was a huge, beautiful change.  And to this day I don't regret it.  I love how clean and bright the kitchen looks(that is, on the rare occasions the kitchen IS clean).  When we had bought our house 3 years before it came with almond appliances.  Almond refrigerator, almond stove, almond dishwasher, and an ugly black over-the-stove microwave.  While I know that almond was all the rage, I just don't understand why people would go for a dirty-white for anything.  But I digress.  And when the cabinets were painted white the almond stuck out like a sore thumb.  I've lived with it like this for the past 8 years thinking that my 20 year old appliances could not last much longer.  I got a new dishwasher, but the elephant in the room is still running great.

Anywho, as I was sitting here thinking, "geez, if only it would warm up enough outside so that I could spray paint something/anything/everything, then I would be so happy."  Sitting at the kitchen counter the almond fridge was staring me down.  And then I saw this picture:

 Isn't that kitchen gorgeous?  I love it, so cheery and clean.  Maybe I should just clean mine... but wait!  She has instructions on how to paint your fridge.  She used chalkboard paint, truly handy, but not my style.  By the way, I LOVE the Handmade Home blog.  Macho man wishes there were no diy blogs, but he can't keep me in a hole, now can he?

A painted fridge... wahoo...what about red?  maybe I should go with blue?  white would probably be best... Ah, how boring.  Red, that's it!  That's the conclusion I came to, I even got out my little pint of red paint.  And then I looked and got scared.  So I played it safer with blue (now I wish I would've gone red, but I can always paint again, right?)

My paint-phobic tough guy even liked it!  Well, maybe not liked it.  He just didn't complain to much beyond saying, "what the hell'd you do?"  That's a win!   What do you think, should I go red?  (It'd match my bar stools.)
