I am DONE Painting, YAY!
CAPSLOCK! I have been sort of out of touch because I've been painting forever. Pictures of my lovely new kitchen, including "before" and "after" pics:
Seriously, I've spent the last two weeks painting my kitchen... I don't know if any of you remember, so I'll post pics of the kitchen before I changed it up; it was darkish purple, ALL OF IT, even the doors and woodwork and ... there was a nine-inch-high "grapes" border around the top of the kitchen. I know, right? It was awful, awful. I spent so long painting because I first had to scrape the border off -- what fun -- and then wash all the walls and woodwork and baseboards and buy paint and stuff. Then tape it alllll up. Then paint. Then fix what I screwed up. But it's done now, woo!
ANYway. Here are a couple of "before" shots:
A close-up:
After I started scraping the borders:
NOW here's the lovely new color -- a sagey/springy green, with a light green border. My kitchen looks taller, bigger, and lighter. I love it so much and am so proud of myself:
By the way, here's the new gas stove I bought at the Sears outlet for $375. It's so wonderful to push a button and cook, I swear (the old one had missing knobs, worn-off knobs, and no indicator lights. I never knew what temperature I was cooking at). Oh, and check out the awesome 70s towel -- my Aunt Jean gave me a whole box of awesome 1970s towels.
And finally, the new curtains my mommy made me for the office, that we just put up today; it had a big, brown sheet for a long time. She converted the sheet and bought material to make the drapes and sheers:
The curtains really go with the yaoi, right?
Okay, done spamming. Now I have to clean for my housewarming party next Saturday. Come on down -- I'm making MARGARITAS! It's Octoberfiesta at Kristen's house. ♥
