This house project is moving soooo slow. It’s partially because there are things I don’t want to do until after closing — and there are things that aren’t moving forward because of all the other little things that require attention. Like… cleaning the green off the north side of a huge white garage door and landscaping/mowing tasks that had been neglected all summer.
That’s why it feels like one shelf on an unpainted wall is a huge accomplishment.
The tiny kitchen had one wall with nothing there. It just didn’t look balanced. (Please note — that decoration is only in that position to temporarily cover a huge hole before repair/paint.)
I thought open shelving would be an improvement, so I enlisted the help of two amazing men who have near zero carpentry skills. This experience is likely why I had vertigo the following night. 😉
The final result.
Rather than two shelves I’ve decided to stick with just the one. Old barnwood boards aren’t exactly flat and I’m afraid adding another would be too risky… and too much. But don’t hold it against me if I change my mind!
On to choosing paint colors and lunch at Pho Shiki!
