Pretty! What color are you going to paint the walls?!

Gutter · Gutter on Sat Jun 06, 2009 7:45 am

We are thinking a green, sorta like the darker text on this forum, I'll have to take a pic of the sample

Just a written update for now.

We have a friend over priming and painting for the next 2 days.

Then DF has to put down the subflooring and then the linoleum.

NOW ARE YOU READY FOR THIS UPDATE???!!!!

I am hopeful that the cabinets will be installed sometime next week!!!! Smile/happy

Then another week to order my counter top Smile/happy

Should be a useable kitchen in at least 3 weeks!!!

Thank you Lou lou and Angel!!!! Kiss

Another written update!!!

Tuesday is the installation of cupboards day!!! Also we are having our counter top measured the same day!!!

Counter top should be in by the end of the month for a fully functional kitchen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY jump

The laundry room will then proceed afterwards!

what material are you using on the counter?!!!!

I want to remodel my kitchen soooo bad but we will have to wait until the economy improves some.
I really want to use quartz counters. It's pricey but it gives you the look of granite without the maintenance of granite.
I have ceramic tile right now and it looks fine..... I just want the quartz!!!! : )

Loulou, this is what we are getting, actually I think that's close to the same we are getting, but the main colour is ivory. and the edge will be plain...

Link >>>> Counter top

The main colour will be ivory with white and brown specks. Not a busy pattern at all and we are getting that special price too Smile/happy

The sink will be built into it and it comes in all one piece.

Ooooh! I love Corian! It's so durable and I love the fact that you are getting the sink made from it as well!
It will be so easy to clean!

I'm loving your project!

Thanks Loulou!! I will most certainly continue posting pics until it's done Smile/happy

Wow, Gutter. It is REALLY coming along!! Love the color of the wall - that green is a great color. Can't wait until you have the cabinets up to see the color combination.....Great job, Gutter's DF!!! Smile/happy

So last night we ran out of glue, glueing down our linoleum, but it'll be done this morning by DF as Audrey has a snooze, hehe!!! Tomorrow is THE day I'm getting my cabinets installed jump

and we are also getting a free estimate on really expensive roofing that I doubt we'll be going with, but we love it sooo much we have to see what they offer. My kitchen should be opened to the rest of the house by the end of tomorrow, but not functional until the end of hte month, YAY!!! CanCan
