West U Home Tour

Yesterday a friend and I went on the West U Home Tour. It was so much fun; although, a little hot out and exhausting towards the end. I couldn't have looked at another rich person's house :)

The uniformity of everyone's homes (save Sally Wheat's) was a little weird. Everyone had seagrass rugs and either a cowhide or zebra hide. And nearly everything was bathed in beige. But I was super excited to see my dream kitchen in person (as well as at least 2 other light gray kitchens). I was also super excited to see a few bathrooms with the same marble mosaic floor.

Here's an in progress shot from the bathroom we had redone before we moved in.

And I FINALLY started the kitchen painting. It's a little daunting knowing I have over 40 doors and drawers to paint, as well as all the surrounding woodwork. Instead of priming everything and then painting, I plan to move in stages and finish one area before moving on. I started with 6 drawers.

This is just the primer coat and wow the kitchen is going to be so much lighter once all that wood tone is gone! I'll start color coat either tonight or tomorrow. Then once it's all dry, install the new drawer pulls and pick the next area to move onto. See the orange plastic gloves and bottle of spray bleach barely visible on the left side of the photo. When I removed all the drawers it was so gross behind there I nearly died. All this old paper from the previous owners and evidence of bugs. BLAGH. I put on the gloves, threw everything away, bleached the crap out of it recess.
