What can a little paint do?

Papa H and I recently decided NOT to tear out our existing kitchen so we could replace it with the brand new, gorgeous kitchen that we bought last year. We both LOVE the new kitchen that we bought (at an amazing price, by the way)...and the idea of leaving it behind makes us a little sad because we love it so much. We don't know when we will sell this house but the idea of being done with the 'contruction zone' far outweighs the stress that comes along with an unfinished project. So we decided to revamp our existing kitchen (it's very outdated) and then take our new kitchen with us if/when we move. Painting the kitchen is going to be my little project while Papa H finishes up on one of the other rooms. It's amazing what a little paint can do...wish us luck!


I thought we could share a few before/after pictures as we make progress.

BEFORE...

Below you will see Papa H and PQ (playing his harmonica) getting ready to take the ceiling down. (This is also another view of the kitchen on the other wall...)

PQ ripped down tiles like it was his job.

(gotta love the work goggles...I mean SKI goggles.)

How exciting...a ceiling that is ripped down to the bare bones!

After it was all said and done, PQ was hungry. He ripped up some food photos (from magazines) and then mixed them up in a bowl. What a nice snack, eh?

I can't wait to see how the 'new' kitchen will look. Papa H has the week off from work so I'm sure that you will be seeing his projects over the next few days. We are hoping to tidy up some of our construction zones this week. Stay tuned...
