ORC Week Four: Modern Vintage Kitchen Update
It’s week four of the One Room Challenge. And I’m being reminded again why it’s a challenge.
To see the previous weeks, click below:
This is gonna be a short one because no one wants to read in detail about the millions of coats of paint that I painted on our kitchen cabinets.
It was 3 actually…on each side….which meant 6 nights of painting after the kids went to bed which means I’m tired and annoyed now.
finished doors…look better in photos! The color is BM 280 Renaissance Gold
Annoyed especially because I probably should’ve sprayed the cabinets or paid someone to spray them. But I was being lazy and cheap, and I rolled them and…well, I’ve done better work.
The exciting part of this week was our banquette bench was installed! It has drawers! This means 6 feet of storage space under there. HUGE drawers. Can you imagine all the rubbermaids I can store under there??!
Yes, I’ve reached that point in my life where I get excited about rubbermaid storage.
I also am pretty excited to see what it’s like when I reupholster it. Assuming I figure out HOW to reupholster it.
The husband also finished the top row of uneven tile- you can still tell that ceiling is unlevel, but since we did a vertical stack with 2x8 tile instead of continuing the 4x4 tile, it’s less noticeable…and I almost have myself convinced it looks like we planned to do a tile border at the top.
When the window on the right is removed, he can finish tiling across that wall and install some shelves!
I think we are also going to use a dark grout instead of white grout so that the uneven ceiling is less noticeable. I have mixed feelings about this because I had been planning on light colored grout. TBD.
And. That’s about all we’ve done!
