Remember this wall?
Yesterday, Seth sent me a picture of this.
If you look through the doorway in the picture, you can see where we have cut out some of the carpet. The new flooring will arch from the front doorway to the edge of the kitchen and the rest of the nasty, stained, blue carpet will be ripped out in favor of some nice, new, stain resistant stuff.
Then, I got a picture of this.
Next, he sent me a picture of this!
There is still a lot of work to do (sheetrock to cover the header and curve the corners, replacing a few broken tiles, etc.), but it already looks so much better! Once the corners of the opening are arched, it will hopefully tie in with the other arches in the hallway and look as though it has been there forever.
I will try to paint the kitchen this weekend and take down that piece of wood over the window. It’s a little too dated for my taste. We have been discussing painting the cabinets also, but they are in such great shape that we hate to do anything to them and I really love the color. We will most likely just swap out the handles and hinges for something different.
I can’t wait to show you more pictures as our little project progresses!
