Sorry for the long delay in posts. I'm sure everyone has just been breathless in anticipation with what has been going on in my house. Not that much, actually. We went on an awesome vacation to the Pacific Northwest. It was really fun and the temperature was never over 80 degrees. We left during and came back to a continuing heatwave in Houston. Nothing like 110 degree temps to make you feel like working on your house!
I have misplaced the connection to plug my camera into my computer. So pictures continue to be Iphone only. Exhibit A: Temperature 112 degrees. AGH
I removed all of the blue laminate from these niches in the kitchen and painted the surrounding cabinets. We had priced out having stainless steel cut by a metal shop and also looked at new laminates (couldn't decide if laminate carrara was cool or god awful). But then my father in law mentioned that he had some old duct work that was stainless and the pieces were probably large enough that he could cut the segments we needed for the kitchen! And HOORAH it worked. This was also the smoothest DIY project we've done in awhile. Or course the sheets didn't fit perfectly into their new home, but my husband easily (or it seemed to me) filed them down (or whatever) to make them fit. And he sanded out all the imperfections, so they have a cool brushed surface. Then I rolled on contact adhesive and we stuck them in place! HOOOORAH.
