Yes, we're still painting the kitchen

Being as we closed on the house exactly a month ago today, you'd think maybe we'd have moved on to a new area of the house. But the kitchen has proved, as many projects do, to be more involved than we thought at the outset. The problem with painting the insides of the cabinets is that it pretty effectively quadruples the surface area you  have to paint. So with that big excuse out of the way, here's what got done yesterday:

I spent 2 hours at home depot getting paint and then achieved a lightening speed wardrobe change and sprinted to the company picnic, where i was for most of the afternoon. On the up side, i did get to finish painting the insides of the bottom cabinets, so the insides are officially done. And, true to form, i got completely covered in paint in the process

 

Matt and Mark hooked up the dishwasher, which looks awesome and runs great. Matt spent time working on painting the cabinet faces while Mark helped out with the trim, ooooo, shiny.

 

 

And Carol did a lovely job painting the shelves their respective colors

 

Thanks to Mark and Carol for the help!!!
