Kitchen Update 1.0

I had Friday off, so it was a perfect day to get some big projects done. I called in Stanley Steamer to work on our old microfiber couches. They were just too dirty and dingy to keep in the 'formal' living room. They didn't turn out perfect, but they'll do.

Meanwhile, we hired a painter to come in and remove the wallpaper in the kitchen and prep it to paint. Man, these guys did a FANTASTIC job.

Right now they are all 'skimmed' which means that there's random places of new drywall mud. Chris is coming back tomorrow to sand it down and then we'll put on the tinted primer layer.

Um, paint colors? Driving me insane. The counter tops are blue and it's not in the budget to replace them...so blue they'll stay. We decided we want to do a yellow wall with a white chair rail to try to work with the blue. We narrowed it down to... yellows.

pale daffodil
lively yellow
gold buttercup
pale honey
wickerware

We're leaning towards Wickerware. But, you can't tell what any of the real colors are here. We're going for a very pale yellow.
