Wasn't that exciting? No? Tell that to me while I was teetering at the top of a rickety old ladder priming that ugly, orangey pine. I was very excited to see that stuff disappear. That was yesterday. Sorry for the picture quality, but it was very overcast all day.
It gets better today. This is what I like to call the open cupboard concept.
Notice the scrolly wood valance thingy is gone over one opening. The other will be getting knocked out too. Buh-bye, and good riddance.
Still not impressed? Give me some time...like 14 days to be exact! My son's graduation is in 16 days, and the last two days I will need to get all the last details ready for that. Am I the only one who is more productive under pressure?
Ignore the dishes and general mess on the counters...I am. It's either a clean house or project time. It's all or nothing for me. That's just the way I roll. When the projects done, it will all get cleaned up. Thank goodness my hubby does the dishes. Well not all the time...but a lot.
I had a really productive day today. It may not look like it, but step a little closer. Take a peek.
What's that you ask? Why dryer sheets of course. I just love the smell of dryer sheets dried in the sun. Okay, I'll fess up. I set the nearly full box of dryer sheets on a pile on top of the dryer and they fell into the laundry sink and got soaked. I know, I shouldn't have a pile on top of the dryer...but remember...the project. So I spent a lovely bit in the great outdoors, soaking up sun, while drying my dryer sheets. I could have thrown them away, but I'm just way too
The real down and dirty job today was power washing the decks, in preparation for staining. Ummm...yeah, another project that has to be finished before the graduation. I also power washed the plastic yard chairs.
Then it was time to fix dinner. Fettucine Alfredo...yum. What? You don't use a drill to mix your food? I know I'm a little unhinged, but this is ridiculous. Those bags hold my hinges, carefully labeled for each cabinet door. Don't worry, the drill didn't get buttered and no one found a screw in their supper.
Note: those ugly counters are getting painted. I ordered Giani countertop paint in bombay black...squeal! I am so excited! I also ordered stainless steel paint for the white dishwasher. You won't know this kitchen when I'm done with it.
Of course we couldn't eat on the kitchen table, because I would have had to clear it off of cabinet doors, and you know...the project. So we ate alfredo, alfresco. I actually left the table in front of the back door, (there was a path), after moving it to power wash. It was really heavy with that umbrella, and my back was killing me. Hubby came to the rescue and dragged it over a bit.
Time to eat!
What?
