The Kitchen

In light of recent events not a whole lot has been going on in the Nightmare household lately. We both really don't know what to do with ourselves when we come home. No one is waiting at the gate, no one wants to chase a toy, no one (except Miss Kitty) wants to annoy the crap out of us with constant whining. Really, it's depressing.

So I got all the crap out of the kitchen.

It took me an entire day.

No the damn room isn't finished yet.

But at least it's scrubbed within an inch of its life.

Below you will see our temporary "electronics" center. I'm looking for a console table or maybe a short, thinish bookcase. My cookbooks over-runneth.

Yes we are classy.

The soffits are giving me pause. I think I'm going to float them with mud since no one touches them and then paint them. We're considering taking down the soffit over the breakfast counter but that has me a little worried and may be more than we can handle since it will require repairing the soffit against the wall and re-doing the crown molding.

And the window from hell. Every time I even think about working in this window I throw my back out and my joints begin to scream in pain.

This is sanded with one light coat of primer. It's getting the mud treatment as well and then I'm thinking about putting some type of glass tile on the sill itself and maybe put a "frame" around the window.

Then I will never touch that window again as long as I live.
