From Blue to New!

This weekend's project..................................."See ya, Royal Blue!"

Jerad and I woke up Saturday morning creating a game plan to tackle the deep, dark, depressing ROYAL BLUE kitchen.  After a 2 hour trip to pick up paint and all the necessary tools, we came home and began our day- long process of taping and painting.

Here are some pictures to describe the work that was put in and the WONDERFUL outcome!

DURING

Of course, we had to have a little fun........ but this shows you how BLUE it really was!

AFTER      Seriously.... I LOVE it.  Whole new kitchen! 



 Here is a side by side picture to show the difference, as if you cant already see it.... ha!  :)    Just bear with me.... this is exciting stuff!   Paint does wonders!     We had a great time together, many laughs and jokes, and I think we can sing every word to the Jamey Johnson CD as a duet!  :)

So, the newest project that began this morning.......... Jerad got a wild hair that he wanted to rip up the carpet in the dining room to expose the laminate flooring below.  (Yes, he is in his robe....thats how early this "wild hair" came about!)

Now, as he was ripping..... it was discovered that the laminate did not go all the way to the wall.  (insert panick here, as we have already cut and ripped the carpet).   Immediately following... a 2 hour trip to Lowes and we are now replacing the whole dining room laminate....which isnt a bad thing, because I think there would have been a lot of cleaning involved otherwise.

Here is a before picture of our carpeted dining room....  I will have to wait until next weekend to provide you with the final product, since this Sunday was the last Sunday evening that we have to say goodbye!  :)    4 days of work this week, and then I'm movin' South!!!  

Have a great week everyone!
