Sunday Night Update

Well here we are, Sunday night and Spring Break is quickly coming to an end. I feel like I need a week to recover from the activities of this week, however I am looking forward to finishing our project as well.

This is where we stand:
-bottom level of cabinets are installed with new hardware and three coats of paint
-top level has a coat of primer on the structure
-new top cabinet doors have a coat of primer on both sides

To be done:
-sand new cabinet doors (they are really rough after the primer)
-wipe down new doors with a tack cloth
-hopefully only 2 coats of white paint for the upper level of cabinets
-install knobs on all cabinets
-get counter installation moving forward
-touch-up paint in a million places (this won't happen until new counter tops are installed because I imagine there will be a million new nicks to take care of!)
-paint window casing, bathroom door and pantry door white

We are LOVING how it looks. The bottom bank of cabinets looks so rich and wonderful...I can't wait for the finishing touch of the knobs! So perfect! The white on the top bank of cabinets is really making the red come to life and bringing out the orange rather than the purple in the red!

Maya was a trooper this weekend! We were really boring and there were a lot of rules. She also took several trips to Jerry's (some eventful in unpleasant ways and others were lots of fun).

Regardless, spring break is coming to an end. I have to get back in school mode, Maya gets to have her regular friends and teachers back at her school and Danny will be glad to have everyone back to "work" like he has been for the last week!

Here are some pictures to show you what we are looking like tonight! Happy almost-April everyone!
