Kitchen

My Mom came over Saturday afternoon to put burlap on another wall in the kitchen with my help.  Now we have the corner next to the sink and around the chimney.  We're going to have to use spray adhesive instead of staples on those areas.  We'll be applying on top of the painted wall paper that is already there so we won't have issues removing everything later when I decide to gut the kitchen.

The burlap really does change the look of the kitchen.  It tones down the peach of the painted paneling on the bottom half of the walls.  I found some nice cafe curtains in brown and cream stripes to match everything.

While I had that half of the kitchen torn apart I decided to rearrange a bit to open things up some more.  I moved the rolling tile top wooden cart to the end of the island and the garbage over next to the dryer.  I also put the stuff on the prep counter in the cabinet above it.  It looks much better in there.

Next up in the kitchen is sanding down the cabinets from my Mom's kitchen remodel, painting them white, and putting them up in the laundry area of my kitchen.  Right now I have nowhere to keep my plastic food containers.
