janeen’s parents were over this weekend, again: they spent all sunday painting the upstairs dining area.
on the left above, this is how the previous kitchen looked. it’s a photo mole took when we were first looking around the house. on the right, i have removed the hood over the range, so you can see the window on the back wall. it makes the kitchen so much brighter. now we’re trying to figure out how to have a hood that does not block this window. any ideas? you can also see the mold in the lower left of the photo – the old cold box is rotting away.
turtle sanding the kitchen.
mole and her mum, painting.
mole’s dad priming the kitchen. looks so much better already. originally we had been planning to paint the trim white and the rest the same yellow as the dining area. once it was painted with white primer, mole decided the keep the whole kitchen white.
last month our friend alex made the suggestion to hang the bathroom vanity off the wall instead of support it on the floor, to make the bathroom feel larger. at that point i’d already finished making the cabinet, it was ready to polyurethane. on sunday i hid down in my workshop, taking it apart and altering the pieces. fits with this home remodel project: do everything twice! it’s now glued up again, and clamping.
