My first order of business was to redo my kitchen. We are working on it as we speak. We have sanded down our old cabinets and stained them. This was a job!!! I can promise you this, I will never do it again unless I make thousands of dollars. It is worth it but my goodness it is a long process.
Now, when I post pictures of them you may not like them. They have an antique/cabin look to them. But I love them. When we stained them it brought out all the grain in the wood that was not there before. We are getting the final measurement on our countertops( thanks to A-Master) and they should be here next week.
So sometime before next week, I have to paint the kitchen which has been the cause of sleepless nights and long stares at the kitchen walls. Now, I do not want to toot my own horn, but I am prettty good and very confident about paint colors. All of the current colors in my house were very quick decisions and I have never regretted them. However, this kitchen has broke the mold and I just cannot decide. I really wanted a red or a green. But red is just to much and our kitchen has a lot of wall space. The green is still a possibility but I do not want a dark green or a very light green. I tried to continue the browns from my living room to the kitchen but that would just not work. Now, I am thinking a grayish tan or something like that. Usually, it takes me 20 minutes and I am done with deciding on paint-this has taken weeks.
Oh, and did I mention that the Hubs HATES to paint?
Let me brag on the Hubs for a minute. He can fix anything. I do mean anything. He loves to fix stuff up and to just have something to work on. However, painting causes him to turn into another person and I have to beg him to just get the high spots. It will be so. much. fun....
After we get the kitchen settled down, I am going to paint the laundry room. The color is "Robin's Egg Blue".
It is so pretty and I cannot wait to get it on the walls. I have to wait until we can move some stuff out of there and that will be we get this kitchen back together.
So, now I am left with less than 2 weeks, a kitchen to paint, and a laundry room to paint,with a beach trip thrown in, before I am too tired to get anything done. It takes me a while to adjust to working especially because I am there from 6:45 until al least 4 everyday. My backs hurts just thinking about it.
Now, I leave you with my baby boy, Scruff MaGruff. I do not know what I would do without this little guy. I love being his Momma!! He is so much like a baby but J and I love it!!
