Finally FINALLY the kitchen is finished. This last project--painting--was one that just dragged on and on. But it's done! And I really like the way that it turned out. In fact, it looks so right that we had some people over, and they didn't even notice the new paint-job. I take that as a compliment! But in lieu of the fact that this is a blog about progress and projects, I'll post a before photo and an after photo.
In fact, here is a before photo from before we even owned the house!!!!
And here is an after photo! Crazy, huh?

| Sorry, it's a little blurry... |

| Although it's not entirely clean here, the nice new coat of paint makes it feel cleaner when we do have it clean. I didn't realize how grungy the kitchen felt even when we would do a deep clean. |

| Oopy, another blurry one. But it gives you a good idea of the new color. |
This project will probably the last one for a little bit. I decided to do it during a time when I was really motivated, but when Peter was in a really heavy rotation. So, I did all of the painting solo! I'm exhausted from house projects! Time to make some more art! But no worries I'm sure I'll get a hankering to do some more stuff real soon. Happy spring, y'all!
And here is an after photo! Crazy, huh?
Love it, Katie!! Did you build the benches and table yourself?
ReplyDeleteSure did! Peter built the majority of the benches, and I built the table from wood scraps from shelves that used to be in the basement, and from the weird shed-structure that we tore down in our backyard. Reduce, reuse, recycle!
