One Brush Stroke At A Time

These days, Lee and I try to delight in any small amount of progress on our kitchen. The contractor is working painfully slowly, and I'm still spending a majority of my free time in the drive-thru lane of a fast food restaurant or at the laundromat.

However, the contractor finally finished the sheetrock, beadboard, chair rail and baseboard around the refrigerator area, pictured above. Maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to get our refrigerator installed tomorrow or the next day... Cold water. Ice. Progress.

Lee and I couldn't decide on a wall color for a long time, then finally chose a grayish-blue. I'm very happy with how it turned out so far against the white beadboard and the cinnamon cabinets. Most of the kitchen/laundry area still isn't ready for painting, but at least we're getting some color on the walls. It's helping me visualize the finished product. What a joyous day that will be.
