Weekend Update

Well, despite one snafu of dining room paint turning out really minty, thus creating multiple trips to Lowe's to remedy the situation, it was a successful weekend of home renovations!

As expected, the kitchen looked like a bomb went off as I had to empty a bunch of large drawers in order to paint them.
Bomb has gone off.

Mint green dining room. ACK!



Before/During



Now I just have to wait a few days for the paint to cure on the drawers before attaching the handles.

The fridge surround is also looking quite nice.









 So re: the dining room. After I decided the mint paint was terrible. I went back to Lowe's and bought 4 different samples. And settled on "Parakeet Pete" which is very similar to the paint in our bedroom. But hey, it's not the same shade and I figure since the rooms have different exposures (dining room-north, bedroom-west) the paint will look quite different.


New paint!

I got some edging done last night.
