Finally sitting in my house, just hanging out. For the past 4 days I've been painting, unpacking, arranging and winding my way around a multitude of boxes.
Before unpacking anything, it seemed more prudent to start all of the painting. (for all those who said "paint is cheap!", it's not). I removed the 1950's style cabinet doors. I like wood, but this is too yellow. Refinishing may come later, but for now it's too much work.
After painting the insides, (make sure that Kilz is oil based!) we put away the dishes. I'm hoping to get the counter covered this weekend and will post a completed photo then. At some point, the walls will be painted a light green color to give some color to the room.
The bedroom was light chocolate color - kinda like hot chocolate... but way to dark for a room with only small high windows. It definately had a cave like atmosphere.
The focal wall is painted "Asparagus," the other three walls are painted "Wild Honey." It turned out a little darker than I thought, but still really lightens up the room and definately adds a splash of color.
Next on the list is covering the kitchen counters, painting the kitchen and living room and working on the yard. Oh, yeah... I mowed my own lawn on Wednesday. It was very satisfying.
