Spackle Time



The walls are up thanks to some help from Jack (thanks Jackie!) and now its time to "mud" the walls together!  

After a night of drying Chase and Kassie helped sand the walls down nice and even and put on a layer of textured primer (thanks Gassaways).  The next day Michael painted the kitchen.  And we still had time for a world cup break!

Our Accent Wall




After two paint colors and three coats, whew, the accent wall is finished and perfect.  We decided on an eye catching coral to brighten up our drab living area.  The other wall colors are a sandy brown.  We are both very happy with the results!  Lucy, too!  You could say she was our muse!



Check out Mikey's handy work on our new light fixture!

cabinet party



Thanks for the help Chase, Kassie and Hedda!  We worked into the night and painted the kitchen cabinets a chocolate brown.  And I kid you not when I say chocolate.  During coat number two it started to smell like chocolate!  I've been painting too much.  The gang also put together our dining table.  Perfect seating for pizza and cinnamon cake freshly baked by Hedda!
