Working on making a beautiful kitchen

For anyone who has not been to our house I will quickly explain our kitchen. Jeremy built a wall between the kitchen and the living room before I ever met him. The living room side looks really nice. Up until a week ago though the kitchen side of the wall was still drywall, mud and tape. vvvv( this was from the assistance of our beagle Copper) Anyway back to the kitchen I did not love the drywall. So the other day, needing to work out some frustration, I sanded and primed the wall. I am quite proud of myself because I have never done anything like that before and it looked pretty darn good. So the next step was texture which I also did with the assistance of Jeremy to hold up plastic to protect the living room. I used texture from a can which I very much recommend, it was easy and it looks soooo good. Anyway now that I had initiated the finishing of the kitchen I got Jeremy to join in with me. We went to the hardware store, picked out paint, looked at new baseboard (because half the kitchen doesn't have any) and talked about re staining the cupboards. So on Tuesday when Jeremy had the night off we tackled half of our kitchen. And I think it looks beautiful. We will be tackling the next half this coming Tuesday. When that is accomplished then all we will have left to do is the trim and someday in the future re staining/painting the cupboards.

In other news on Wednesday we bowl on a league. I'm not a great bowler by any means but we have a good time and I am improving. The last game of the week this week I managed to just be on fire and I bowled a 154 which is 64 points over average for me. I was pretty darn proud of myself. Well, I think that is about all the excitement we had this past week.
