Paper On The Wall...

And I'm not talking about pretty wallpaper...

Who's ready for the long weekend???

I know I am. Sort of.

I've been testing colors to  paint the kitchen...

 (top- Sherwin Williams, vertical-Sherwin Williams half and half, bottom-Sherwin Williams Silver Mist)

I'm leaning more towards the mix.

Turns out, I HAVE TO decide this weekend.

Why you ask?

 

Last night, we started pulling off some weird paneling in the kitchen.

And then we found this behind it:

(yes, that's two layers of paper- yes, paper not wallpaper...

and it's on top of plaster)

 

GREAT

 The rest of the kitchen has drywall so this was a big surprise

My first thought- dry wall it.

Second thought-we're going to knock out half of the wall and put cabinets on the other half eventually any way...BEADBOARD!

Yep, that's what we'll be doing this weekend.

Oh, and drinking lots of wine and beer...

Staring at Stairs

So the stairs/staircase in the new house need an overhaul. 

And this is what I'm thinking needs to happen

paint

sea grass runner

nail heads

translation to those that need a visual:)

my plan is to DIY the nailheads

I know I want the face of the stairs and the bannister rails 

the wall color-it's an off white 

(will share sources later) 

What I can't decide is what I want the tops and railing to be

glossy black

or 

kendall charcoal

You see, you can see the staircase from the kitchen. I can't decide if I want to paint the bottom cabinets (or the island) kendall charcoal or not. 

Decisions, decisions... but that's another post!
