mini upgrade

This month we did a little mini upgrade to the kitchen



I first removed the wallpaper that was not put up properly.  Then Marcus patched the walls where the wallpaper took wall down with it. And then he painted the ceiling and then the walls.  Marcus also got the bright idea to remove the backsplash since it came down so easily in one spot.  Needless to say, I wasn't a fan of this idea.  Rather I was fine with just painting it until we were ready to figure out our plan. But he insisted it would a) be easy b) be quick.  It was NEITHER and there area now needs drywall patches installed. He agrees not the right move.

This was a quick/easy way to open up the space between the kitchen and dining area.  Yes we lost some cabinet space but we weren't even using them to begin with and the openess we gained from them being gone with worth the loss of storage.

Still to come: paint cabinet, paint/replace where backsplash was, replace ceiling fan or install recessed lighting. Oh and Sept list update...
