I don't know how you did it; 2.5 weeks (of mostly painting & staining) was MORE than enough for me...! loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-69800055122305276522015-11-05T20:21:18.792-05:002015-11-05T20:21:18.792-05:00Ugh.

Sending the best vibes for a speedy and satisfying "after."

I remember getting our new kitchen installed (November 22 years ago - ya think it's time to do it again?), and it was a nightmare. Even though it actually went very quickly, over only about a week! Painting too was done a LONG time ago, and now needs to be done again. We did most of it ourselves, but got professionals in for the areas that were over our multiple stairs and open plan areas where we needed scaffolding. We've never actually painted our bedroom - for some reason the only room we've never redecorated. We have a very comfortable spare bed though, so moving out wouldn't worry us too much. I think I seriously need a colour consultant, so might take your advice on that.<br /><br />Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-63128023310402720022015-11-02T15:14:47.357-05:002015-11-02T15:14:47.357-05:00It WAS fun to pick the colours.

She was here for a little over an hour & well worth the fee -- I had her come when we did the house 11 years ago & still had her card & she's still working. :) It's amazing to watch her work -- she really knew her stuff. She brought a whole little suitcase full of colour swatches & she could just riffle through them and find the perfect colour in about 30 seconds flat. Mostly various shades of beige (lol) but a really nice soft sage green for the kitchen that goes beautifully with the dark wood cabinets, & a dark burgundy/mahogany shade for the shutters & front door. loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-45851760333046559512015-11-02T10:44:21.109-05:002015-11-02T10:44:21.109-05:00I so feel you on this.

But was it at least fun to pick the paint colours?<br /><br />I have been putting off re-doing the bathrooms after the big kitchen overhaul last year. But it has to get done. I'm dreading it so much. I also work here, so it's like they're working in my office.Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.com
