Whew!
The push is on to get a few house projects done by Friday; Saturday is my father's 90th birthday party, and That Old House wants to be looking her best . . . or what passes for best when you are twice the age of the Birthday Boy.
Luckily, we have a little free labor this week -- daughter Alida and her boyfriend Josh.
They are going to put beadboard wallpaper along the sink wall today.
Howard and I will be finishing up the counter-cabinet-shelving project that will
transform our old "isthmus" into a Welsh Dresser. If you squint your eyes, anyway.
Yesterday, I painted. This morning, Howard painted.
This is one coat of paint on the hutch top, below.
The pine hutch is taking the paint much better than the oak base cabinets.
The oak takes more prep, more paint, but it's an easier paint job than the open shelves.
The hutch sits on the floor while we paint it.
Waiting for its second coat:
I'm going back now to putting away all the drawer and cupboard contents we pulled out of the kitchen and the butler's pantry to do this project. Everything is a mess. It's not always such chaos in my kitchen.
No, really . . . it isn't! -- Cass
P.S. A question: What do you do first: Take pictures and then write a post to suit the pictures that you have? Or take pictures that will illustrate what you are writing about? Which is your chicken, which is your egg?
