More Walls and Lil joins the team

Today was more about the walls. Leonard mudded nearly all day.

In the afternoon we went shopping for appliances. 2 stores and we didn’t buy anything until Alex returned to Lowes for the vent fan. Do you love or hate your fridge/dishwasher/range? If so, please leave a comment. We want to buy today for delivery Friday.

After we came home from the fruitless marathon trip, Lil wanted to help. We let her use a scraper and play with the “sticky stuff” aka drywall mud. She had a blast!

Today: paint? I said that yesterday, so I won’t believe it until the paint can is actually open. I did buy these green supplies yesterday: a biodegradable paint tray and a green harvested wooden handled painted brush.

The Before Kitchen

Here are some pictures to illustrate the before kitchen I took today. Please ignore the clutter. I consciously decided not to clean first because I figure the de-cluttered After pictures will appear that much better.

Would you buy a kitchen with a purple floor?

Rachel — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 04:28:58 +0000

We will be putting in linoleum floor in the new kitchen. Lil and I are most attracted to madagascar violet, a lavender base with orange and peach patches. Assuming the rest of the kitchen is in a moderate color palette, what do you think of the purple floor? Would it negatively affect resale?

Our personal blog begins

We cook a lot and most people don’t seem to do that these days. We’ll blog about interesting food finds here, as well as updates to our kitchen. We plan to renovate it in December 2008 – January 2009 to make cooking and eating even more enjoyable. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Our personal blog begins is a post from Hounds In The Kitchen.
