paint me baby one more time

how trashy am i? here is some proof.

here is a close up of the awesome paint job done by the a's. it was taken after i taped for this paint job. as you can see, they were obviously down with the whole taping/painting carefully thing.

here are in progress photos:

now the walls have their first coat on (green in case you didn't notice). it looks hot. i need to do a second coat to the walls tomorrow morning. it is going to look great. then i get to do the cabinets and the trim. now that the walls are nice it makes the trim look dirty and nasty.

in terms of the cabinets, it is slow going. i got one of the doors off. i am the master of engineering to get it off. now i have to sand down the door and the cupboard because of all of the dried up old paint. i'm so doing this the right way instead of the quick way. it is a challenge, but a challenge i will have to overcome for the bathrooms eventually.

i also bought the goods to make a roman shade and to cover the shelves. next i need to get new hardware for the cabinets and to get the goods to re-wire the outlets. i'm going to try installing gfi outlets. since the laundry room is a "water" room it seems like a good idea. i found directions and it seems pretty easy. So, hopefully by the end of the weekend i will have one room done before going back to work.

meanwhile dog just dumped over her basekt of toys. she seems more interested in the basket than in the toys themselves.
