As I mentioned last week, I'll share some pictures from our recent projects around the house! Working in medicine provides enough daily drama.. so I've been slowly transforming our house into a calm oasis. It was a little crazy on the main floor of our home for a couple weeks but thankfully we are almost put back together. On to the pictures!

She's still a work in progress.. there are no seats on the chairs and the walls are pretty bare. But we're getting there! It took a lot of painting.. scrubbing..
More painting.. priming.. painting.. sealing.. At one point, every inch of the kitchen was either painted or supporting something that with wet paint! You had to move very carefully.. (Shout out to my dad for his help!) What you can't see from these pictures is the peeling finish and nicked edges of our table that prompted the refinishing.
In the middle of all that work, we replaced the baseboards in both the living room and the kitchen:
The baseboards are much more substantial now! Plus, we had areas on the first floor where the baseboards were totally wonky - cut too short and angled incorrectly. The baseboards are a subtle change if you aren't looking at them specifically but they are a huge upgrade! Here are a few "after" pictures one more time:
That's what has been keeping us busy! We've been thankful for these gorgeous spring days because we've been able to open up the house and air out the lingering fumes ;) You probably can't tell by these rainy-day pictures.. but the new colors really brighten up the space and make it appear larger. Eventually we will re-cover the seats on the chairs and hang some art/pictures. Suggestions are welcome!
I'll be in the clinic in Plattsmouth again this week (everyone there has been super great!) Feel free to send us some good mojo because we have an A/C repair person coming this week -- we'd rather not blow our whole tax return if we can help it! You all enjoy your week!
xo,
Krista
