Painting my kitchen hot green....anyone know about interior design?

I love bright colors. I want to paint my kitchen bright green. Kind of a lighter bright green...almost like the yahoo answers bars, haha! The problem is I don't know how to transition to the living room and hallway which attach to the kitchen. I don't want the entire house bright green...though I do love a bright, beachy, fun look all over the house. I need suggestions of how to make the whole house look good and bright and fun but not overwhelming. The kitchen is the biggest room in our small ranch style home. Help please!?! Pictures would really help me too~ I'm painting myself and plan on making a home depot trip today or tomorrow. Thanks for the help! Really, Luke? No green? This is the pic I was liking: http://www.lavenderlotusdesign.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/domino-green-kitchen.jpg

1. No. Kitchens and green do NOT go. If you want a light colour for a kitchen, get a subtle yellow or blue, but not bright green.
2. If you are really set on the bright green use it sparingly and choose a beige or white as the main colour. Then the beige or white can extend down the hall and into the living room. Where you can use yellow and blue (nice beach colours)
3. Just as in the picture transition with colors that don't compete with the green(which i love by the way) Black, white and natural woods work best with strong colors
