Finally, all the yard work is done, lawn mowed and mower put away, and the flowers beds all cleaned out. Since there is nothing to do outside anymore, we decided to do the kitchen. It has been one heck of a struggle trying to decide on a paint color. Last night, we said "let's go pick out a color, and just do it". That is what we did. We picked a color called "Rusty Nail". Of course, the biggest part of the project is the prep work and the mess. Here are a few pictures of our beginning.
Carl filling holes and cracks. This is a very important job which requires lots of talent...(You will understand why I say this later).
Like I said, it creates quite a mess.
Here is the paint color. It is the middle one, and is called "Rusty Nail". If anyone is freaking out over the color, you better speak up now, or forever hold your peace!!
And here is Pat, doing her part to help. As I was doing my "very important job of filling cracks and holes", Pat was washing windows, etc. She said she couldn't reach the high part of the window and asked me to reach it for her. I said something like, "I am doing important work here, and can't be bothered with window washing". Wrong thing to say! ...I humbly assisted with the window washing.

Yes, he's learned a lot over the years--me too--let him paint it the color he really wants and we'll both be happy!
That was exhausting trying to get you guys a color. This is the most spontaneous paint job ever. Right? Good job on picking one out. I am so proud.
I say "go for it"!
when it's done i want to come down and see it!
Great color.......the part though about putting away the lawn mower for the winter. Up here in the NW (at least in the Portland area, you don't put away the lawn mower. I mowed our lawn Fri afternoon in my shirtsleeves. (Jealous, aren't you?) We had all the kids/signifigant others over Fri nite for a BBQ...eat your hearts out...
