We kicked off our preparations for getting the house ready to sell. The first was the kitchen, Vernon put in our back splash quite a while ago, and then the task of choosing a paint color was unending. One day I went to Home Depot and just picked a color, came home and painted part of the wall between the cabinets & counter top. I decided I needed a lighter color, so went back and bought another gallon a couple shades lighter. Came home & painted next to the first test. I went with the first one, (darker). Not to worry, I will be using the other gallon of the lighter one in another room. We bought a cabinet restoration kit, cabinet hardware, etc. Vernon put in all new switches & electrical outlets, and covers, we put in a new ceiling fan, which goes with the new light we put in a while back. I sealed the back splash and the slate came to life, it looks so awesome. I need to find some sealer for our granite sink, as it is dull. Still have a way to go on this first room restoration. At this rate, we will probably be able to get the house up for sale, just before we have to go to a rest home. LOL The appliances are stainless & black, I will accent in red & black as well. Haven't found anything I really like yet for accents. It is time to get rid of all of my pre-Texas decor, which is now over 25 years old - Yikes, I am a creature of habit.
Tell me what you think about the colors!
Check out the Super Moon, was bigger & brighter. I love my camera, gets all the details.
This is Brookes favorite part of the dishes. She is the pre-scrub cycle part of the dishwasher. Most of the time she does a better job than the dishwasher :( which is really getting on my nerves. Yesterday I had to run the same load twice to get it cleaned, which was on the heavy wash cycle. I think it is only like 4 years old. Says alot about Maytag right.
