It's a Sunday morning and you're sitting there waiting for your coffee machine to stop its various gurgles and noises so you can have that all important early morning cup of coffee. Idly, you look about your kitchen and notice a spot of paint on the corner of the door. It had been there for years but you never really took any notice of it before.

Your gaze continues to wander and your eye gets caught by a patch of mildew growing under the sink, then you see the ugly brown colour that your ceiling has become right above where the cooker is.

The paint is faintly off colour, and the lone wall-papered wall is beginning to look outdated and faded. You take a fortifying sip of your now-ready coffee and decide that some kitchen decorating is called for.

How do you go about it though? And how soon can you get into it? Now that you've finally noticed all the little bits and pieces of decay that you were quite successfully ignoring up until that moment, you can't wait to begin your little kitchen decorating project.

That however is where the crunch comes. Just how modest do you want to keep your kitchen decorating project? Can you get away with sloshing a fresh coat of paint on everything or will you need to go to the lengths of removing the wallpaper off the wall, and finding out where that mildew stain might be coming from.

It all depends on you and your finances, but if you have the time, energy and money, you'd probably be better off, in the long run. to get rid of all your kitchen decorating problems in one go. That would include stripping off the wallpaper, replacing any carpeting or rugs, and perhaps even sanding down your wooden floors if you have them. However, if you're going to do a complete job of kitchen decorating, you'll also need that all important final coat of paint to brighten up your kitchen.

You might also want to think about replacing those old lace curtains as they're also probably looking distinctly old by now. So, go on and splurge on your kitchen decorating project and replace the curtains and while you're about it, you might want to think of buying a new stack of tea towels as well. It doesn't hurt to go the whole hog when you can.

And when you're finally done, you can sit back and enjoy your new kitchen and remember that weekend morning that started it all off. You'll have no regrets whatsoever, since your kitchen decorating project has landed you with a better kitchen than you ever expected.

A feeling of contentment flows through you as you bring your new coffee mug to your lips. Life just doesn't get any better than when you're enjoying the fruits of your labour.
