Following the example of several other xangans who recently posted pics of their kitchens I decided to put mine up for examination. I thought it was decent until I looked at the picture, there are oh, I don't know, maybe 2 things I like about the whole thing! The Bunn coffee maker and the Bosch Universal mixer. Haha. I have been contemplating redoing the kitchen for a looong time and keep putting it off because I am lazy uncertain as to what I could do with this place.
The house is a double wide trailer that was wrecked in transit and we bought it from the insurance co. for super cheap about 9 years ago. "You get what you pay for" applies well here. The flooring, trim, cabinets and windows are about as cheap as they can get without being cardboard. Wait, maybe there is some cardboard involved here. Anyway, not to sound ungrateful, I do enjoy living in a cheap house when it comes to payments on the place.
The walls in the kitchen are vinyl printed wallboard circa 1999. Hunter, burgundy and navy, cute. I am thinking cream walls and leaving the cabinets oak because i cannot bring myself to paint those things. Taking off doors and drawers, hinges, pulls all that? No thank you, I'd rather move. I am fine with moving the hideous mess off the top of the fridge, I yiyi!
Ok, moving on too the diningroom, yes wallpaper, no I don't know why I did that. I need to paint the brown shelf thingy first thing, that's why those shelves are so bare, awaiting paint they are. The question of what color is still up in the air so any recs on that would be appreciated.
the livingroom was painted sandstone and red a few years ago, until the hunter green carpet meoves out this is about all this room is getting at the moment.
Girls bedroom was painted last winter, they are into ppurple right now, with all the writing Essie does on the other walls in the house I am surprised to see that these have been spared thus far.
Boys room was painted few years back with somme cans of misc paint poured together. I still have about 3 gallons of this stuff if anyone wants it. It's going on Freecycle shortly, I am tired of it hogging shelf space in the garage:).

Corbans bed is americana style, the firtruck picture kinda sorta fits in, the crown molding is in the garage. I am on the ball in this room:).
And last but not least is the master bedroom, I painted the walls kinda like tthe boys room and it just didn't work for me so when I was in Walmart I was scoping out the paint section and this sandstone color was on the missmatched shelf for a whole $7. I snatched it up, repainted and love it.
The brown I painted first kept looking purplish in some light, Essie called it purple from day one and nomatter how many times I said 'brown' she said purple. Arggg. As soon as this new sandstone paint was on, i realized she was right the whole time. Who am I to argue with a 2 year old? So a new quart of "sweet brown eyes" fixed that. Shehasn't said anything about the wall since.
I have white crown molding for in here, the furniture and headboard are in the process of being painted white. I need a valance or shade for the window, so I am cruising the internet for ideas on that.
Well I forgot the bathrooms but this gives you an idea of where i live, share some ppics of your abode?
