re: Made Kitchen LOOK Larger AND Brighter with Paint

It happened somewhat by accident.

Had mentioned to a neighbor I wanted to put a border around my kitchen ceiling.
Alas when She did it before I had a chance to get to the store
- i got creative.
rather than using the customary white JUST on the ceiling
- i extended the white color onto the walls about 4" to 5" down.

Then painted the walls whichever color selected.

S - W - E - E - T !!

it brightened and gave the kitchen a larger look while omitting the cost or work of applying an actual border.
