Still In The Middle Of It All

This project has become all consuming...to the point of not being able to think about or do anything else. We spend lots of time rearranging things...trying to find the best way to cope with this. See, we're not just doing the kitchen and downsatirs bath we are also painting the whole downstairs! We've had to move everything. The first few days I tried to dust everything and keep the house looking halfway decent but I have to admit it got the best of me. There's just too much mess.


Here's part of the reason for the paint job...the drywall guys patched up old AC vents that didn't even do anything.....







And, they made some changes to the door from the dining room into the kitchen.....







And, here's the other side of that plastic sheet...the new Knock-down finish on the kitchen walls....





The Hub is not a big fan of this...he would have liked some kind of textured finish. But, most of this will be covered by cabinets and appliances and backsplash, so maybe it will be okay, right??

You can see the old tile lines on the terrazzo floor...this will soon be covered with travertine marble...

It seems like I keep forgetting the bathroom, but it's going slower than the rest. They are really pushing to get the kitchen floor in so the cabinets can be installed. I hear that's coming sometime this week....

But, until then, here's the bathroom and that's the shower....

Anyway....the floor will be started, the painters will get started and we are planning a very busy week! An outpatient surgery has kept me out of the loop for a few days, but everything is fine and I'll keep you posted on the progress...have a good week!
