Remember waaayyyy back to here? And here? Seriously, did you think this project was already done and Roger just forgot to update you all? Did you think he would have finished this a long time ago!?!?! Do you think he should have finished this a long time ago? Well, it's still not done - but look at it now!!!
My Dad helped us put in our three new hanging lights
My Dad also made a small bookcase to fit at the end of our now very long island. He built a new countertop for the existing island and taught ME how to tile and grout.
The tiles were all leftover from my parent's bathroom. When they moved into their brand new home, there was a leak in the masterbath. The builder sent over a whole new bathroom supply of tiles. They didn't need even a third of the tiles! I have learned from my parents - you never throw anything away. The tiles we have now inherited! My Dad even thinks there are enough left over to do the rest of the countertops!
The ceiling still needs to be painted. The area behind the new range needs to be sanded and painted - along with the small area above the microwave.
We also still need to rent a floor sander and get the floors in the eat-in part of the kitchen finished. That's gonna be a mess. But it will look soooo good when it's done. Our new kitchen is so much brighter and we don't suffer brain damage when we use our island now! It's the largest counterspace in my entire kitchen and I love it!!! The storage in the kitchen has grown which will come in handy when we're finally ready to begin our new school year!! Hmm, maybe on Monday we can begin! 
<--- how do I remove that!?!?! I don't want to create my own, so I'll just sign out: Jenni
Good Job! could I get you to come over here and kick mine, (husband), in the ass so we can get after some stuff around here?
ReplyDeleteI am inspired!
It does look great! Now, I know you all are slow, but my house is only half way around the world, and could seriously use an updated kitchen...LOL
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love home improvement tasks ;-)
Plurkity Plurk.
We've owned our house for 15 years. We have only redone 3 rooms, 2 bedrooms and the center hall, both floors. I still have 5 rooms to gut, plus 2 more bathrooms. The ones that are done have modern wiring, installed to code, adequate insulation and drywall installed. Most of the other rooms the plaster is still in okay shape, but the insulation leaves a lot to be desired and some of the older wiring is knob and tube...
ReplyDeleteJenni,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your kitchen. It does look so much brighter. How great for a room we all seem to spend so much time in. Now when we need something done around here, I know who I'll call.......YOUR DAD :) Does he hire out?????
