Not just any kitchen wall...

As promised, I'm going to show you how the kitchen turned out after our whole 
apartment makeover marathon.

(Hallway makeover ~here~ and Living Room progress ~here~)

When it came down to it, there was actually not too much we could do in the kitchen. Its a huge space (for NY living) but most of it is made up of cabinetry which we unfortunately could not change or paint (boo!) since we're only renting.

So today I'm going to share with you how we spruced up these horrendous lime green walls.

before

The people who lived in the apartment before us said that they decided to get a little crazy one night and paint the walls lime green! 

It was hard not to look at them like "WHAT THE HECK were you thinking?" 

All I knew was that they had to go! So go they did!

With the leftover white paint we had from the Hallway, we covered up that green and then I did something really cool with the wall that is next to our fridge... CHALKBOARD PAINT!

after

I absolutely love our chalkboard wall! Its a great place for notes, checklists and of course a weekly due date countdown.

The clock is another IKEA gem and works perfectly against the black wall. 

We picked up some chalkboard markers (they are so much easier and less messy then real chalk) and are having so much fun scribbling on the wall.
