Sneak Peek

This kitchen makeover is taking much longer than I had anticipated. That would probably be due to the fact that I have two busy little boys at my feet at all times. It is coming along though, so that is good. I have one more valance to make, and a few more cupboards to paint. My goal is to wrap all this up by the end of the week, but this week is a very busy week, so we shall see what I actually end up accomplishing.

I am loving my new table and chairs, and the bright colors in the kitchen. Remember the crazy yellow light fixture, above the table? Well, when I painted the walls, it looked just awful and didn't match at all, so my dad scrubbed it and painted it bright red, which turned out to be a great accent color. I also found the most perfect cherry print material, and proceeded to dust off my sewing machine and make some valances.

The telephone - - I had Steve move it down to cover the unsightly hole that I'd discovered beneath the paneling, but soon it will be going away for good. I've found a great looking retro desk phone (in red, of course) that will look perfect on the little telephone stand...must hurry up and order that.

Here is the original kitchen, for a little comparison. I do not miss that wood paneling at all. Or the wall paper, for that matter.
