A few weeks ago I noticed a piece of the linoleum kitchen floor coming up. Then while happily shopping for new floor tiles at the local home improvement store, my husband informed me that we would have to move the refrigerator and stove. My response to this was sarcasm of course. I said "Well, why don't we just install new kitchen cabinets while we are at it"! Well, knowing that wasn't in the budget, I suggested painting the cabinets and walls in the kitchen since we had to move all of the appliances. We decided to take an extended weekend to put it all together.
Home improvements always take longer than expected. It is fun to decide what tile to put on the floor and paint to put on the wall, but actually doing it is a whole different ballpark. If you are going to work on a home improvement project, along with the paint brushes, tape, etc., you will need patience, a sense of humor, and a good side-kick!
We started to paint the cabinets and put a coat of paint on the walls. The next day, we pulled up the floor and put the new floor down. After the floor was put down, we realized the wall color didn't work and needed to pick a different color green! The days eventually blur together and it's been a week since we started the project, but we are getting close to being done and it is all coming together!
Pics or it didn't happen! :p
