I don’t think the dog is thrilled with the kitchen project. So far, David’s taken all the white tile off and scraped off the gluey cement stuff, which was an incredibly noisy process involving a coal shovel, and gotten down to the old linoleum that he’s just going to put the new padding and floor over. To the dog, it means he wasn’t allowed in the kitchen for a couple hours on Sunday and again Tuesday, even though David was in there and the treat cabinet’s there. And it was too noisy when they were scraping off the junk. We moved his food and water dishes, the fridge is blocking all the light coming in the dining room window and the big islandy thingy is right in front of the living room window, the window he always looks out of. Yeah, he can’t be real happy. And of course he doesn’t realize that we’re doing it a lot for him. The tile floor we had before was just too slippery, he had gotten the point where he was afraid to go in the kitchen unless we had throw rugs all the way across it. And I get a new pretty laminate floor. And David’s insisting we paint before we put down the new floor, so I get to pick colors. I’m leaning toward yellow walls, white upper cabinets and navy blue lower ones, but we’ll see.
What spring projects do you have on your list?
What a lucky doggie!
Finding out where the ants come from, evil little things
Ew, ew, ew! I hate ants!
It sounds like you’re going to end up with a beautiful kitchen! 🙂
I hope so. So far the ceiling and upper cabinets are painted.
You should take and post pictures of the progress! 🙂
good luck! your new kitchen look will be beautiful 🙂
A new floor always makes your kitchen look so fresh! We just went from bare cement with ugly carpet (yes, in the kitchen, horrors!) to tile this year and I am so happy with it. I’m even happy to sweep every day! Too bad we can’t tell our pets that, he doesn’t anticipate how nice it will be.
Oh My…my husband says we need a new roof…more landscaping, driveway work and the dormers and wood part of our house need painting…I think we should just move!!!
Wow, that does sound like a lot of work!
Awww, look at that lovely dog. 🙂 The animals always seem to have the hard time with change. 🙂 But hope all turns out wonderfully for you!
Scrappy is cute and has an awesome name 🙂
I love house projects. It’s fun to pick out new stuff. I think we did a lot last year because we knew we wouldn’t want to do too many for awhile after the baby arrived. I would like to get the basement cleared out though.
Oooooh, I love home makeovers. I bet the kitchen will look great. I remember when we put our laminate in the kitchen that Buddy was none to happy either. He even refused to eat when I had put his bowls downstairs. lol.
He’d be a happy dog when it’s all done. *GRIN*
