Holy Moly, that's all I have to say.
I am going to make this short and sweet because I have to go right back to working.
It will be a miracle if I finish this in time!
Let's take it day by day since the last updated post…….
Wednesday we ripped up the old granite tile counters. The came up surprisingly easy.
I also had to empty the contents of all the cupboards which made my dining room look like an episode of hoarders.
Somewhere in there I got the crazy idea that I needed to plant my window boxes.
Thursday I sanded the rough drywall edges smooth where the new back splash will go, as well as in the nook area. I sanded and painted the skylight area that had the bad patch job.
Then I painted all the trim work in the kitchen a bright white.
Oh, we also made a pipe contraption to hold 2 pendant lights above the island!
Friday the marble installers came.
I sat at my island and painted custom sign orders while they installed it.
Love, love, love it!
Why did I not do this sooner?
That is the good news.
The bad news is that my newly painted Annie Sloan Old White cabinets looked just that~OLD!
Old, dirty, and dingy next to the new marble.
So, I made the decision to RE PAINT all the cabinets in Ben Moore Dove White and I am so happy with it! Although, I might die if I have to paint anything again.
{pic. below shows the original yellowy color on the drawer fronts and the dove white is on the doors}
I spent the entire day Saturday from 6 am to 9 pm sanding, priming, and painting.
Sunday I painted the island the same green as the pantry doors.

Monday I had to wash all the dishes before putting them back in the cupboards because they had gotten so dusty from the construction. I think I must have washed 12 loads. Thank goodness for a dishwasher!
Tuesday I painted our bar stools.
Here is a before and after:
I primed them with spray primer and then painted them with 3 coats of Dove White.
Luckily it was a sunny day and we also have a television outside, so I watched episode after episode of Investment Properties.
The wallpaper also got installed in the nook!
I LOVE it!
Any suggestions for shelving?
I still have a ton to do.
I sure wish I could get an extension…..
Ha, yeah right.
Keep your fingers crossed that I finish by next Wednesday!
