Getting Started

Josh and I both chose a project to work on over Spring Break. My project is to tear down all the wallpaper border in the kitchen and repaint with a fun & inviting color. I feel like the kitchen is where we spend most of our time, it’s like the center of our house… so it needs to feel more inviting. The beige walls aren’t working for me.

Step One: Take a Visit to Lowe’s & Buy $$ Supplies

Step Two: Get the Paper Down

Notice how this is my project yet, I have a crew doing all my work… Hmmm!

(After)

It already looks cleaner and less cluttered. Today we head to the paint store and decide on the color(s)!

Josh’s Project is to tackle this deck. He is striping the old paint off, pulling out old screws, planing the wood, and when the weather turns sunnier… he’ll stain with a mahogany flame with white or cream rails… it will be so very beautiful!

Step Three: Paint

(hoping it will happen today… fingers crossed!)

  1. Now I notice that the kitchen is YOUR project but you are not featured in any of the “working” pictures. I like your ability to delegate tasks :) Send your crew over to my house when they are finished, I cna put them to work in my house too!!!!

  2. I am excited to see you start this project – I think you bought enough supplies!! :) I can’t wait to see how it looks (Way to get everyone else to do the stripping – it is such a nasty job)
