The restoration continues

If I can get the kitchen walls painted today, we might be able to hang the beadboard this weekend.

So far, the ugly paneling in the kitchen is GONE!! Whoo hooo!

In the photo below, the beadboard will go behind the shelves, and the backsplash.

The backsplash will be painted beadboard.

What you see above is the primed, textured walls.  I will paint them, then glaze them with a darker color to give them an aged, Tuscan look. 

The hall is now painted.  No pink left at all (that big wall of cabinets was the last remaining “pink” area to be painted over)  Just a nice, soothing cocoa color with a cream boarder!

And the boys room is a now a deep blue,

Once we get the backsplash up, our contractor will be back to transform the ugly slide closet in the kitchen into a desk with cubby shelves for bills etc..  That will happen in January.

Then, we….will…….be…..DONE!!! with the renovations. 

Well, until I talk Bill into adding on upstairs.  He would rather stick needles in his eyes.
