...but well worth it in the end! The painters arrived early in the morning, draped the kitchen in plastic and canvas, then proceeded to stain the woodwork, pile all the furniture in the dining room and start painting the ceiling and walls. At the end of the week, they moved the heavy furniture pieces back in, leaving the rest in the dining room for me to sort through and reorganize. (I'm still working on it!)
After several days of sorting, purging and rearranging contents of cabinets, the kitchen has a fresh new look. The wallpaper is gone, the sliding door woodwork has been stained to match the cabinets, the ceiling is a clean flat white, the walls match the tile and the counter tops are shiny and clutter-free. The family room also has been painted and cleaned out. I took the opportunity to shampoo the carpet while the furniture was still out. What a difference!
Meanwhile, Rick and Ray (dynamic duo!) worked on completion of the fencing around the entire perimeter of our yard, with gates to be installed at the end of the driveway. This should keep those hosta-loving, daylily-munching, tick-infested deer out!
