Hi, everyone!
I hope you are having a peace-filled, hope-filled, love-filled day!
It is the eve of my birthday,
and I am about 1/2 way done with my birthday present:
the makeover of my kitchen.
I started the project by removing the grapevine, lights and ivy.
This photo is entitled
WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!
Do any of you have any idea about what I can do with 5 strands of grapevine?
Craigslist? Bonfire?
Here's what it did look like.
(For years I have known it needed to come down, just wasn't a major priority,
lately, our home has been begging us to SIMPLIFY):
But doesn't it look better already?
Here's a treat for the eyes.
Yummy.
I have been cutting in and painting.
No, I do not use painter's tape, I use a fantastic Wooster angle-sash brush.
It is my dear friend, too.
I am so blessed to be helped along the way by some sweet friends!
Suzanne came to help me put up beadboard wallpaper.
I made a plumb line, and got the party started.
She is a pro.
I have 8 total outlets above the counter.
She cut out the wallpaper around 7 of the outlets.
I did the very first one.
I only did one, because I don't know how to cut around the sockets, apparently,
because just as we were talking about the times
when we were a kid and we stuck things in outlets and got shocked,
this is what happened to me!
Scared the stew outta me!
But OH! How we laughed!!
Suzanne does a beautiful job.
She didn't get shocked.
She obviously figured out how to use my camera, too.
Sorry to leave y'all with this image in your mind, but it's the last picture I've got.
My other dear friend, Ann, is coming today to help me with the rest.
I am so needy.
