Kitchen

While Rich was gone last week I decided to take on a few projects... They were pretty small projects like sorting his socks, replacing a few door knobs but there was one that wasn't so small. I decided to paint the kitchen. !!!! Sounds easy enough, right? Yep, it sounds easy but it was not actually easy. I had Amir with me while I did it. It took approx. seven hours, divided into two days to finish. No our kitchen is not big. But I had to keep repainting where there was a hand print and the occasional bum print. *sigh*

I had to have my brother come help me move the refrigerator and the stove so I could paint behind them. That was also hard to do with Amir around. Amir LOVES Sami and all he ever wants to do while he is here is play, play, play!

But we finally got it done and here are a few pictures:

The color is "Native Soil"... It looks great!!

Upstairs Bathroom! (finally finished!)

We decided to somewhat remodel the upstairs bathroom.

We are:

• Painting
• Redoing some of the plumbing
• Moving the sink where the toilet is
• Moving the toilet where the sink is
• Replacing the tile

Here are some BEFORE, DURING and AFTER pictures:

Needless to say, we wont be taking on a project like this for a while. Even though the end result was awesome! Our weekend job turned into almost a whole week!!
