painting never ends

if you ever get the bright idea to paint your 5' by 8' kitchen dark purple, don't!  i can say don't do it with 100% confidence since i just did it and now i want to cry.  all that work!  i think i put it best when i told ralph it looked like barney exploded on our walls.  painting the kitchen has been a nightmare because the floors are a pinkish marble swirl and the countertops are denim blue.  ugh, what was the prvious owner thinking?  perhaps i should locate her current retirement home and ask!  any color ideas that would work with blue and pink and our already painted light beige living room walls?  this is driving me bonkers and i'm afraid the kitchen will not be completed by christmas!  my arms are tired.  i want to do something other than painting and priming walls when i get home from work!  poor me.  :(
