New Beginnings: Kitchen Redo...

So the next room on the remodel list was the kitchen. Nothing drasic just giving it a fresh coat of paint. We had picked out the color we wanted, it was a hunter green color. Well on the day Tony was going to go get the paint he couldn't find the card with the name on it and wasn't able to reach me at work. So he got what he thought was the color we picked. Turned out it was a little more green than we were going for. It was like a grass green. Very green. Good for a kids room but not what we were going for the kitchen. So we went and got another color. I decided that I didn't want to go as dark as hunter green. I wanted more of a sage color. I ended up getting Shaded Tree. Its dark enough but not to dark and I am pretty happy with it.

Since it's trapping season and Tony's gone alot this was a project I got to conquer myself. I tore down the wallpaper, sanded, painted and I found a new love in the process. I love plastering holes and cracks!!

I do have to admit, Tony was still a big help as always. He took down all the trim for me and did a lot of the trim painting. I have decided I like to paint, but I don't like to be careful. Give me a roller and I am fine, but I have a hard time finding the patience for painting all the little nooks and cranies. We had to use q-tips to get around the hinges on the cabinets....not fun!

But alas we were done with the painting.

We aren't done putting all the finishing touches on the kitch yet. I want to get some new curtains and we need to put the trim but up but I wanted to give you a little preview. I don't really have any good before shots and I'm sure Brenda will appreciate this picture but it's all I have.

You can kind of see the ivory wallpaper we took down. Thank God there were only 2 layers this time.

P.S. I apologize for the mess, I was baking cookies this morning and we still have alot of stuff that doesn't belong in the kitchen there, but anyways you get the point.
