We haven't been sitting around waiting for kitchen stuff. We decided to paint the walls where the cabinets and built-ins are going, so we have been busy painting and installing trim. The problem is, I can't install trim until Andre paints, or he would prefer I didn't. So I have also been doing a little painting and am getting better at it. Now we have the master bathroom painted, ceiling and walls, the shower is completely tiled and caulked, the tub is now connected to the plumbing and Andre hung my little chandelier over the tub. Vanity is one third built.
The kitchen and den have been painted, well at least the drywall walls are painted. Then we fabricated and installed trim along the tongue and groove ceiling before we installed the kitchen cabinets.
The master bedroom closet has been painted and trimmed, as we have started the built-in in there. And the front door and window in the porch have been trimmed ahead of the paint. Oops!
It's difficult choosing paint without your furnishings. We chose a brown for the kitchen, as the cabinets will be creamy white, and while we weren't sure about it, everyone who has seen it loves it. Go figure.
Might I add that there are a couple of spots on the wall which have had to have been touched up due to fur.
