Day 3 – Monday
We started the day with a quick birthday celebration for Cara. Tim’s parents, sister and (baby) nephew arrived bright and early with breakfast. Visiting with family over coffee and cuddling with a sweet baby boy, it was tempting to linger all morning. However, with a Friday deadline looming to get the house ready for a housewarming party, we couldn’t afford to burn more daylight, so we hugged good-bye and got busy on the kitchen.
Moving boxes out
clearing the floor and counters
Stirring the paint
Paint: “Mariner” by Sherwin-Williams
Mr. D did the rolling
Cara and I did the cutting in.
Lots of cutting in!
We also put a fresh coat of bright white paint on the trim and wainscoting.
The kitchen went from blah
to bright
Taking pictures at night doesn’t do the color justice —
The color is light and bright … and oh so cheerful!
Day 3 work complete.
Time to celebrate the birthday girl.
