Now I'm in the Mood for a Steak Burrito

Second time's the charm.

When I moved into my condo, most of the place was painted in this cheap, chalky white paint (except for the main bedroom, which was a lovely lilac). I don't have a lot of wall space in my kitchen, which is why I decided to do something a little bolder in there.

The designer guy I talked to a couple years ago recommended red or green for the kitchen, but I couldn't find the color he suggested. I decided red was the way to go, and I found a paint that I thought would look good. After it was up, though, I realized it was too orange. Then I discovered the color I wanted was already on the walls at Chipotle, so Lisa found a bunch of paint chips at Home Depot and on a Saturday afternoon we took them over and compared.

Chipotle's walls are very close to Home Depot's "Cinnamon Cherry" Behr paint. So a couple coats went up, and you can see the result above.

Now I need to get over to Farmer's Pride for some fresh guac.
