Kitchen Painted
Color is Cape Hatteras Sand by Benjamin Moore
Photos taken after the first coat. I still have a lot of touch-up work to do.
Well, my goal was to have the kitchen painted by the time we went to the Hessler Street fair this Saturday...and I met that goal! I began the following Monday after Mother's Day working to prepare the kitchen to be painted. That work included:
1. repairing damage from the electrican's work.
2. Spackling low areas in the wall & removing high areas lightly sanding
3. Sanding up the doorway trims to remove paint drips & slops, scraping peeling paint, applying peel stop, then wood putty in areas to be sanded.
Liam caulked the trims & baseboards.
Then, everything was sanded & then primed.
4. I stippled the ceiling. Liam helped paint the ceiling.

NEW RUG...
I'm very happy with this rug I won on eBay for $39 with free shipping. If you're from Cleveland, you would call this a "Marc's bargain!"...
No bungee cords, flashing hazards, 20 mph, flippin' birds, or honking necessary. It arrived quickly!
There are a lot of great rug deals to be had on there...antique and new-one of the advantages of this economy.

Finished Entryway!
The painting in our side entryway/mini foyer is just about finished. Here are some photos of the completed work. Liam is about to install the closet door. I have possibly 1 more coat to do on the red entry door.
