Painting kitchen as a surprise for DH

He's working away and when he comes back the kitchen will have gone from white to orange.
My friend has made me doubt myself and says he won't be happy.
I was hoping it'd be a nice surprise 😳
Can always paint over if he hated it!

Here for moral support he's home tonight Confused

@Roseyjane Wow, you're easily shocked then 🙄

Imisssleep2 · 10/07/2024 08:49

If it's something you'd discussed before but not got round to then a nice surprise, if not then orange may be a shock depending on the shade of course. As this was posted a few days ago, interested to know how it went?

amyshep · 10/07/2024 15:00

I forgot to update- he likes it!
Response was "wow you've been busy!"

I can't figure out how to add a photo, I'll take one when I get home 🏡

That's not orange, I painted our kitchen B&Q orange, it was great.

Olika · 10/07/2024 21:00

Really nice

CollyBobble · 10/07/2024 21:10

I think he'll divorce you.

Orange as a main colour sounds awful but orange accents that can be changed is ok.

JaninaDuszejko · 10/07/2024 21:50

Looks great.

Roseyjane · 10/07/2024 22:02

I’m no fan of orange but that works really well op. Well done. Brave choice that paid off. Result..

WitchyBits · 10/07/2024 22:06

I love orange, my bathroom is orange and fish wall paper 😂 🐠 . I took a photo of my favourite plant earlier and as it's in the bathroom you can all appreciate the aforementioned decor AND my favourite bathroom plant. She's a variegated large form monstera deliciosa. Her name is Splash ❤️

Does he like orange? I don’t so I’d be extremely unimpressed.

I once painted my bedroom orange
It was so awful , that the minute I had finished, I repainted it.
Don't do it.

TammyJones · 11/07/2024 05:41

Actually looks ok - plenty of other colour to off set it - as pp says accent walll

MorvernBlack · 11/07/2024 05:48

I love it!

amyshep · 11/07/2024 09:46

Thank you 🤩

It's IS B&Q orange haha. There was no made up paint near the colour I wanted so I asked the lady to colour match her apron and have it made!

Here's the other end, excuse the mess

Re three lions- 😆😆 that's what I thought it said!

But did he like it? You haven't said.

MoreOfADogPerson · 11/07/2024 13:48

I love it! Where did you get the big blackboard from?

Chaotica · 11/07/2024 13:52

Lovely! Glad he likes it. (I'm banned from using orange because one DC hates it.)

No. Don't do it. Not unless he has expressed a desire for an orange kitchen! 😬

FusilliGeri · 11/07/2024 14:11

It looks great!

We've got a bright orange bathroom.

Songsareliketattoos · 11/07/2024 17:47

Orange is the new orange! Looks gorgeous

Funfaxfan · 11/07/2024 17:48

My DH wouldn't have noticed that.

amyshep · 11/07/2024 19:02

@beanii yes he does 😁
