So, we've made lots of progress on the Kitchen/Breakfast Room transformation!
At the end of the day on Friday, the following had been DONE:
- Cabinet and exterior door painted light blue
- Back of cabinet wallpapered
- Cabinet styled
- Colorful pots purchased at TJMaxx and hung (we need a few more!)
- DIY message board made with same wallpaper used on back of cabinet and fun $7 frame found at antiques store
- Chairs (Bertoia and barstool) spray painted
- 2 more barstools purchased and picked up -- $50 on Craigslist for 2! And on the same street as client :)
- Art hung
- File box covered with black embossed/textured paper for easy organization at the office area
- Baker's rack styled and organized with new baskets
- Sheepskin rugs thrown on Bertoia chairs
- Glass of wine had in improved breakfast room on Friday night!
Hardest part so far? Trying to get these panes as perfect as possible :) (You can see the light blue color I painted this in the lower right hand corner.)
Client's thoughts from last week?
"The Knoll chairs have a first coat, but along the way, I added grasses to the bases (plucked out), nearly fainted (I, too, chose to not use the mask), struggled with the tarp, which managed to blow and catch on ALL of the careful work I had done on the bases, and painted much of my lawn white. THIS IS NOT MY SKILL SET - DO I HAVE ANY SKILLS ANYMORE???!!! I told you that I wasn't "crafty" and I should have believed myself. Tomorrow, please treat me like a freshman college student with no practical life experience and I'd imagine that I can take direction and not cause harm...let's hope."
The Knoll chairs actually turned out really well once seen the next day in daylight!
This week, I'm heading back over to put a few finishing touches on the project -- add some more pots and pans, paint a chalkboard menu wall, and take final photos (assuming enough light...)!
Then for a final reveal and tally up!
