mini kitchen makeover still underway. most the white is done, save a few cupboard doors and the baseboards. painted my mom’s old drop-leaf table teal green. dad put glass in the doors of the two cupboards where we stack our white dishes, and we painted the backdrop and the kid’s (and my) little step stool the same teal green. still have to paint the pantry/laundry room and get the floors steam cleaned.

ed wants to get ikea shelves for this wall and put his coffee wares (and my tea wares) on it. i want to frame this vintage floral placemat i’ve been holding onto for years in one of the old frames my mom found in aunt ede’s attic. it’s been down in our basement. i got a cute retro-looking faux wood radio for $15 off ebay. it’s not here yet.

we unloaded at least six bags of kitchen crap from our cupboards. unfortunately that’s enough to *almost* warrant a garage sale over a donation. we’ll see…

playing house is fun. maybe that’s why we’re drawing this out so long.
