You all will have pictures of my house soon...
Saturday and Sunday I painted the kitchen. All that is left to do is put up the new molding, paint the cabinets and put a faux finish on my new countertop. Dad made me a new counter out of mdf. The current counter is plywood with bright yellow laminate nailed to it with rusty nails...high class, let me tell you.
Today I called in sick to work. *cough* Really.
This morning I went to the library to get a book on faux finishing. Did you know libraries are closed on Martin Luther King day? I should've known that... Mom and I went to Lowe's...she got stuff for the parsonage, I got stuff for my countertop. I found a formica chip that I want to copy the look of. It is dark grey with brownish places...I just don't want it as dark as the chip. I also got a polyurethane.
Wal-Mart had a five stem candelabra (hangs from the ceiling) light fixture on sale for $10. I now own it. I also know for the most part how to hang a light fixture (I could've done it by myself completely if the right kind of box was in the ceiling). Dad came over and helped me to finish it.
Right now I am debating whether to start painting my countertop or wait...it is only 7:30, so I could probably get the painting part of it done...or at least get a base coat on it.. dunno..might just call it a night.
Now hours later, I think I will call it a night. :)
