Remodel - Kitchen

We removed wallpaper to find........peach colored paint. SCORE.
And, if you haven't noticed I think my dad is wearing the same clothes
in most of the pictures. We had about a month to do all this work
and we did it on the weekends (usually 12 hours a day, Saturday and Sunday)
after a full week of work! Needless to say, I was beat.
It always amazes me how my dad, who is 61, will work and not complain about
a thing -- well, sometimes he does, but it's not often.
I accidentally cut myself with the putty knife I was using to get the wallpaper off the walls.
Makeshift band-aid, paper towels and painters tape!
We covered the cabinets to paint the ceiling. All the ceilings had to be painted -- fun stuff!
Goodbye, peach paint and blue beadboard!
I still need to paint the cabinets, but that's for later.
I'm thinking white (I like very bright kitchens).
I'm not sure what the big brown thing is technically called,
but it was Brian's grandma's and we kept it because nobody wanted it.
I think it will be beautiful with a new paint job and maybe
glass pains instead of the mirrored ones!
I picked a lighter shade of gray for the kitchen beadboard.
I actually painted this part of the kitchen after we moved and settled in.
The blue counter tops will do for now however, we got really lazy, because we were TIRED,
while painting the ceiling and there are white paint spots on the counter tops.
Meh, when we have the money I think I may
 use RUST-OLEUM'S Countertop transformation kit
to make due until we can afford nice countertops.
Please ignore the leftover cookout stuff on our table!
The dishwasher and fridge were already here and we were not
about to buy new ones! Not right now!
