Moving on...the house is great. Kinda. Except for the nasty carpet, wall to wall to wall wallpaper, and way outdated lightfixtures, bath fixtures, appliances, and anything else you can think of, it's great!
All of our possesions are currently residing in the den. We are all sleeping on mattresses on the floor. It's kinda like camping out in a vacant house. And it's getting a little old. It would be nice to move everything into its proper place and actually have a living room area. But, it's not to be...yet. The carpet should be coming this week (crossing my fingers here).
The kitchen is coming along though. I have some pictures of it before Kim and I ripped it to shreds.
It was yellow with busy blue wallpaper. We ripped the paper down (all three layers) and got to the sheet rock. I removed all of the hardware from the cabinets and spray painted it copper. The doors and drawers were removed too, and painted white, along with the cabinets in the wall.
After the white paint, I went over them with a teastain glaze to give them an antiquey look.
More to come soon. We're getting internet on Wednesday so I'll be able to post more pictures then.

Okay, I don't even know what a teastain glaze is never mind knowing how and when to use it. Love all the cabinets! Did I say I love all the cabinets? Keep the pics coming! Amy Jo
Wow, hard work--but I love the job you've done! I know how hard it is to get stuff done with little ones at home--but, at least you have family to help you! Keep posting pictures--it's so fun to see!
