D.I.Y

If I haven't filled you in yet I bought a house. It is wonderful now but it wasn't pretty getting here. I was on the prowl for about a year I had an awesome Agent it was just hard with my price range. Investors would snap up anything that didn't have legs. I cuaght a lucky break when my friend and owner of the house I was renting decided to sell so I ended up snatching up her house before the investors caught wind of it. It is a 3 bedroom 2 bath house with a nice size kitchen. The house of course was in good condition compared to the some of the vacant houses I had seen. There were houses that were purposely trashed but others were nasty due to peoples laziness or general lack of hygiene. So now that the place is mine I decided it was time for some updates. I decided to start with the kitchen becuase well there was something in there that was totally wrong. I have been troubled by it since the day I moved in and that is in this beautiful little nook with cute little windows were blue, metal blinds. Really? They must have been free or something. Why? Why would you ever... never mind. So here are the pics and the updates.


It is hard to tell but there are baby blue blinds on this window so just imagine it... faded, dusty, metal, baby blue... got it?


Thanks to my friend Sara's husband Alber I now have nice white faux wood blinds.


There are some nice white walls throughout the house but after many of those little sample size .5 liter jars of paint I have settled on Timberdust. Anyone collect paint samples? I have quite a few.

Much better!
