It's kitchen time

So, first coat took 5 hours.  You know that's a long time for a room that has not a lot of wall realastate to cover.  It's all the cutting in that takes forever arrrggg.

First coat going up. 

Kitchen painted, done.....ooooww no not quite.  Now that the walls are nicely painted, fresh and new the counter top looks HORRIBLE!  I can't do this to my home!  It's like wearing an beautiful new evening gown and then putting on a ratty pair of sneakers.  Well, what's a girl to do?  I'm gonna paint it!  That's right I'm gonna paint them to look like granite stone.  That's the plan anyways.  But, that's for another post, moooahahahahahaaaa.(evil villain laugh)

Finishing the Front Window

Finishing is always the stuff you don't want to do and it takes the longest it seems.

Had to frame out the window

The bottom board I wanted to stain and made it wider so it would be a shelf.  Really happy with the way it turned out. I used my own homemade stain(vinegar in a plastic container then you add some plain fine steel wool to it with a paint stick to keep the wool submerged. Don't forget to pop holes in the lid. Let this marinate for a week then strain out the wool remnants and presto you have stain) I used my stain first and then used an ebony over top.

I think the finished window looks great.

Old furnace comes out and new one goes in

So, our last furnace was ancient, it was a wood/electric forced air furnace.  Weird I know.

Was a beast and took up a lot of space.

We re dry walled 

And painted everything, even the floor.

This is the new furnace

The Lennox SLP98V and we love her, she is quiet, efficant and warm, we feed her propane.

Now that we don't have to fill the room with wood, Bri even has a little work space.
