  • Up-side-down

    My world has been turned upside down. 

    Actually, I have done it to myself, willingly, with malice and forethought. 

    The painting of a kitchen is not for the faint of heart, I have learned - nor the trembly of knee, nor the weak of deltoids, nor the tender of sacroiliac.  I, being in possession of all but the first, dove in head first.  And now I am up to my eyeballs in it, going into the third day, and considering that third day is a "day of rest" -- I foresee this stretching out through a fourth day at least.

    Here is a chronicle of the adventure in the kitchen, and this will give you an idea of what I'm wading through, and why it's been quiet on the Nettie front of late.

    Clearing the counters was only step one...
    step two was scrubbing!

    and scrubbing...

    and scrubbing...

    and scrubbing...

    and scrubbing some more!

    I am truly a blessed woman to have such angelic helpers.

    But where, you ask, did you put the
    stuff?
    Answer:
    Everywhere else.

    I almost like this kitchen when the counters are completely empty.

    But the color...
    Yeah, you're right.  There IS no color!
    This is completely out of character for the rest of my house.

    You see it too, I know you do.
    I had no choice!

    Stay tuned for the next post,
    when
    Nettie Brings The Color.

  • Can't wait to see it!  I love all your helpers and wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to ever use our counter space until we were cooking or baking?  We can dream.

  • I love how clean an empty kitchen looks. It's completely useless, but it looks good! lol

  • @Holstons - @bethro78 - I know... BHG kitchen photos drive me batty.  Luckily I know that they only look that way for the five minutes the photographer is in the room, and later the same day, they look just as tornadoed as mine.  That is the thought with which I comfort myself, at any rate.
