The floors were refinished-- the final item on our punch list for the kitchen. The contractors, in moving appliances, grooved the living and dining rooms. The solution? The floors had to be refinished! Surviving four fumey days (Will was out of town and Stirling next door) was a feat in and of itself. However, looking at the final product, it was worth it. They are just beautiful!
Course, we then had to paint all the base boards in the two rooms. When the shoe molding was replaced, the paint chipped off the base boards.
Then I got the bright idea to repaint the fireplace in the living room, since that trim has yellowed with smoke from the fireplace. I don't have the steadiest of hands, so I had to get some of the wall paint to straighten the edging around the mantel. I used the paint from the kitchen-- we used the same color after all.
Only, that is was not the same sheen:
The paint in the kitchen was a semi-gloss, but a flat paint in the living room. Therefore, we had to paint the walls in the living room. Ahem.
Such a snowball effect that was the kitchen remodel. It required the walls of the living room to be repainted. But, for real, we are done with any house works. After all of this unplanned work, wouldn't you be?
