We are redoing our bathroom this month, but I wanted to share a little of what we’ve done in the kitchen already:

We’ve taken down the plywood cabinets and on a different kitchen wall have put up old white metal ones from the porch (but only 2 of the 3 we’re planning on using). We’ve taken out the wood paneling, added material to even out the wall, and painted it with chalkboard paint (but haven’t cut through to restore the window that used to be on this wall; you can see the bottom of it making a cubby in the chalkboard). We’ve taken out the carpet (but haven’t refinished the wood floors).

What I’ve learned doing house projects so far, is that it is easy to make progress but hard to finish.
