Thought I'd share some photos of our mess! Every day dad comments how glad he is that he's not a painter and most importantly - how glad he is that we aren't doing the work ourselves. It's taking longer than we anticipated, though I think it always does, and yesterday our contractor told me that he "grossly underestimated" how much work there was to do. He said no one is getting a deal like we are....... so, lucky us! We didn't realize that we had 80 cabinet doors and drawers - holy cow! It is going to be beautiful when it's done and I'll post pictures then too.
Guess it's hard to tell in the pictures exactly what's going on, but we are making the cabinets about the same color as our entertainment center.
This doesn't really show how beautiful the color is, but it's very beachy, relaxing and totally wonderful. Even our painters are in love with it!
Can you tell this is our beautiful deck? We've been without a washer and dryer for 2 weeks and all our stuff is either piled on the deck or in the family room downstairs. We decided on the bid and they were ready to work the next day so we had no time to organize and be neat - we just had to unload the upstairs pronto!
There was so much prep work. Days and days of taping everything, then painting and taping other parts of the cabinets. I know that if we added up the prep time versus paint time it would be 10 times more prep. It's just a huge job and the pictures don't do it justice. Too bad we don't have a video to document the changes.
Our garage has become a shop and it's literally toxic in there. I don't know how the painters have any brain cells left!
Can you see the color difference? Funny that in the pictures of our kitchen the fridge is showing because for the better part of two weeks we haven't had access to it. It's been plastic coated and taped off. Let me know what you think.
