My spring break has consisted of construction and painting. Last Friday, Phil's mom and her husband, Don, came down to help us install our flooring. It took the four of us three, twelve-hour, work days to get the flooring in and the baseboards nailed back on. The next project I tackled was painting our entertainment center a rich chocolate brown. (It was a medium toned oak before painting and was too similar to the flooring color.) My painting project took most of the week to complete due to the fact that I painted during Ryan's two-hour nap time each day. We still need to patch and paint the baseboards before the project will truly be complete, but that may need to be tackled during summer vacation. After all this hard work, I'm very leery of painting my kitchen cabinets white, although, that will really finish off the space. Here are pictures of the process below.

It looks so great! And what a lot of hard work!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to paint my kitchen cabinets white for four years now, but I think I would probably start it and never get it finished.
Gorgeous floor!Love it. Want it:)
