KITCHEN

The kitchen was dark and boring. The flooring is in pretty bad shape.

I threw a rug on the floor, painting some of the paneling, and it brightens it up a lot.

Not that I got that much... but I at least have the basics. Yes that is a big box of pudding...

It took me a long time to figure out what to do in this room. I took off all the window treatments right away... ugly...

I figured out where I wanted all my stuff to go, I just needed to find the right color walls to pull it all together. I got a missed tint at the paint store, I call it... "Safari Khaki."

This corner was perfect for my bakers rack. Thankfully I still have those bar stools from the Firehouse cause they fit perfect at my counter.

I straightened out light switches and painted. The counter makes a great place to quickly eat and not have to dirty my table.
