Weekend Updates

This weekend Scott and I finally had the ambition to finish painting the last room (ok maybe not the last room) in the house... the dreaded kitchen. We first had to remove the wall paper, which took forever. Saturday was spent removing the last bit of wallpaper and prepping for painting.



Here are the finished pictures after a lot of sweat and elbow grease. You can still see the green border painted on the cabinets... Not such a fan, but it will do until we can re-do the kitchen in a few years...



Our first Craiglist purchase. A beautiful fireplace screen! It is absolutely amazing! In other house news... we have ordered ALL the hardwood for ALL of our floors. We will be very busy these next coming months taking out the first layer of sub flooring and putting in the hardwood that should be here middle of March.

  1. Wow oh wow have you been busy! Love the red, and cannot wait to see your floors. If you decide you cannot stand the green on your cabinets, I volunteer to come help you paint the backs. That's a pretty short term project. Looks great, you guys are sure staying busy!

  2. The red turned out GREAT! How many coats did you have to do? :-)

    1. Michelle, we had to do 2 coats but it could use another one. We were just sick of painting at that point and wanted to get it done with.
