Oh Boy!

Well today we had a little help.  Our friend Daryl came and helped Kade install a few doors.  Those things are a pain in the butt!!  I'm sure it doesn't help that we're working with an older house!  I was working on painting in the middle bedroom while the two of them were installing doors in the master bedroom.  It was really nice to hear them both blabbing incessantly and laughing all the time  :)  That makes me happy.  (and it REALLY makes me miss our friends!!)

Anyway...Thanks for the help Daryl Gene!

I got the first coat of stain on the kitchen countertop.

It's looking good...oh man, I hope it fits on the cabinets/sink properly :)

Here's a closeup of one of the tongue & grooves.

For some reason I just love that look.

Oh...an update on the Silestone Quartz countertop.

They sent their "chip specialist" (yes, that's really his title, not sure that's a good sign)

out to work on the chipped spot.  I'm not going to lie....

we all agree that now it looks WORSE!!

Now it has a funky gray hue to it as well.

That just looks terrible...

Here's "pre" chip specialist.

I don't know...I'm just not happy with it.

Time to email them again and see what else can be done

So I painted the middle bedroom...one coat...and it looks awful.  I HATE the color.  It looks like a really pale pink.  Sorry, but my walls are no place for pink (maybe for my tank top or flips flops though!!)  I have an old quilt that I want to use in that room...and it's just not going to work with that color...so off to Spickermans tomorrow to get a new color.  I'm thinking something with a hint of yellow.
