Yesterday and today we spent some time prepping for the kitchen which, we hope, is arriving tomorrow morning. We went and got some more main floor wall paint (Carolina Strand) as well as tiles for the main floor bathroom.

Yesterday was mostly painting. We put a first coat on the bathroom walls as well as primed and painted the outside of the pocket door. We’re also continuing to take care of our new front lawn. It looks so far like it’s taking, except for a couple pieces.
Today was a busy day. We started by adding a second coat to the bathroom as well as the pocket door drywall. We then moved the kitchen out of the way to make room for the incoming kitchen as well as allow us to put a coat of paint over the west wall, something we hadn’t done yet. It will be mostly covered by the counters and cabinets but we thought it would be good to get it done before they arrived.

Then we moved on to tiling. We found these cool tiles at Olympia Tile called Tropical Grass Brown. We laid these in the bathroom as well as the little room beyond. Check out the picture of it – looks a little rough still, but a little grout and cleaning and it’ll be great.

Hopefully this will be our last night without a kitchen, but we’ll see. Check back tomorrow and I’ll blog whether Ed has arrived or not.
