Day Thirteen
We've decided not to move until November 19th. Two weeks was just too soon, considering we're about 1/10th done with remodeling and haven't even begun to think about the actual packing up and moving part of this whole adventure.
Without further ado, today's accomplishments:
We took down those fake rattan blind/shade things in Ben's studio and added another coat:


He claims it's exactly the color he imagined when he chose it. Success!
Ben also painted the bottom part of the walls in the kitchen. The yellow I picked out is - well, it sure is yellow.



I think it will seem a lot less yellow when the darker floors are in on Monday. Right now Ben is a little alarmed.
I put the first coat of light grey on the entry hallway.



This all used to be bright, horrible orange, you know, and we're both amazed at how soothing and nice it is, even with only one coat so far.
Ben also put another coat of paint on the cabinet doors, and I taped off the upstairs hallway in preparation for painting. There are no pictures of these things, because they're boring.
Accomplished today:
1. Second full coat of paint on Ben's studio.
2. First coat on bottom half of kitchen walls.
3. First coat on entryway hall.
4. Another coat on cabinet doors.
5. Another coat on kitchen drawers (Ben has finally pronounced these finished).
6. Upstairs hallway taped off.

It's looking so good!
I'll be around the 19th to help you guys move if you need me.
great work...love the color of Ben's studio...yellow is a weird color to paint...i did my bathroom in the lightest yellow i could find and about croaked when it went on...it tones down once you "adjust" to it.
Wall colors can be pretty shocking, I've chosen some bad colors in the past- well, I thought they would look good and they ended up looking awful on. Give it time, I'm sure once you get furniture and floors down it will look different.
And remember, it is so easy to re-paint stuff because there will be no evil wall paper pulling down crap to deal with.
It looks awesome so far Molly and Ben.
It looks great so far! You guys are making really good progress.
I love yellow kitchens. I cannot wait to see the finished project!
