Crash, Boom, Bam!

The house projects continue...and continue...and continue. We spent Labor Day weekend ripping out the kitchen and dining room. It was actually fun the first three days and by the fourth I was just useless. Amazingly there were no injuries to report. Definately a few close calls.



Discovered a built in spice rack behind the walls and some darling daisy wall paper. I think I'd go insane if my kitchen was plastered with this stuff.





The floors got refinished. Very rustic looking, just the way we like it.


Our downstairs bathroom was quite a site. It had anchor wallpaper on the bottom and green stripes on the top with an ugly green tub to match, which we would only use to wash Elvis. It's on its way to a serious makeover. I'm excited about the mirror being made by Sanata Theresa Tileworks.


This turned out to be a disaster. I thought I could save the moldings around my office windows and give new life to the doors. Wrong! I failed at getting the 5th layer of paint off. It was a messy, messy job and now they just need to be totally replaced anyway...ah, ohwell, live and learn. But my office did get paitned a pretty color called tropicana cabana. It glows at night, seriously.



I can't wait to post the "after" pics. Soon, very soon! (I hope).
