Okay Its not the Mona Lisa .. But its Our Kitchen!

Okay so today was a

50 50 day...

I know I told you I'd finish last weekends project,

Of course,

I didn't

But like I stated in the last post there is NEVER enough time

no let me re phrase that

there is NEVER EVER enough time

But We accomplished something huge so we were pretty pleased

at the end of the last post I told you We were blitzing on our kitchen painting

and well

I'm proud to announce

WE DID!

Our kitchen is the one room in our home that has always really needed some TLC

No... Some MAJOR TLC

The Walls were Terrible!

It blows my mind how much a splash of paint changes a room

Our walls were literally stained

with.... with... with..

Yuck

Entering

JnJ Bascom

Please ignore the fact that i literally look like a boy

Its Saturday

mmk?

Moving on

We began by...

scruBbiNg

and

ScRubbIng

and

SCRUbBING!

The Worst Step of the process

Next:

We Unscrewed all of the Outlet covers and put them in a bowl to soak

cause

well

They were just as nast as the walls

That would be my focus face.. I'm not pissed I swear

Just a little sample of how disturbing this is...

Absolutely disgusting

Well Behind the Fridge..

we like to call our

 experiment wall

as you can see paint is very very difficult to make a decision on

Yes Ladies and Gents that there is 11.. ELEVEN different colors that we experimented with

and not one of them worked for us..

The top red smudge Jake was convinced was ""the color"" ...

I REFUSED

So..

A Little Bitta Splish

A little Bitta Splash

And a This and That...

And

f

o

u

r

Hours

Later

BEFORE:

Notice: the Red splash/smudge on the right side of the wall...

 Jake insisted on trying

in "Different light"

but we attempted to wipe off immediately after

unfortunately wasn't a huge success

AFTER

Its hard to see the difference but it is Amazing!

Before:

After:

Yes we still have to set our canned lighting into the ceiling

and

Yes, I knocked out a light bulb in my chandelier in the painting process

oops!

But until the cupboards are replaced

and

the tile is in

Welcome to Our Kitchen

Still a LOT of updating to do.. but all in Due time

Patience Yeago!

Aspen and Tuck

Are lovin the Changes!
