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.
You have a GORGEOUS house!!! I’m unclear about the kitchen though. Is it done or is this the before? Whatever, I love the black countertops and the window is to die for! Are you taking out the big wood thing? Oh, and I didn’t see any pink. Maybe I should just get a glass of wine…
Jojo — Heated, spa, all those things — the kids will love it!! Please come up! Should be ready by around Thanksgiving! School is hard as you know what. I need a spa or I will have a nervous breakdown. I am teaching a finance class to 20yr. olds. ARGH!!
Pam! Oh! A pool! Will it be heated?
How is school going?
I love the colors you chose for your walls. And the hard wood floors. Maybe one day I will grow up and have a home with non-white walls…
I loooove the bedroom color! You have a good project going. I can’t wait to see the finished project.
what wonderful work! I love the wall color choices.
The first time I visit your site since I started my PhD stuff, and I find you renovating!! Looks great. You’re better than a Domino magazine!! We’re doing some reno too – next time you’re at your Mom’s come up, and bring your swimsuits!!
It all looks great! Gives it such a fresh new look! You really have been working hard..
I love the blue in the boys room. I’m currently trying to entice my husband into a master bedroom makeover. I really like that blue.
