A Little Help From Our Friends

THE kitchen remodel has nearly done us in. People ask us questions, expecting a creative response and …..blank….yep, we’ve got nothing.

Luckily for us we’ve got friends…and family to keep us encouraged.

…to say nothing of helping us caulk…and paint.

…and paint some more…

and then…paint some more, when the paint sold to us didn’t match the paint on the wall. Bad British Word. (You don’t even know how dejected this made me feel after spending my whole Saturday on it.) My Loving Spouse got it all straightened out and painted that part again!

Pieces have been coming together and we are delighted with each little bit.

I love the new stools! They work extremely well, which the guys celebrate getting the transmission back into Whoa Nelly with a “wee dram”. (Yep, that is another story…)

Speaking of ‘other stories’, wait until you see what we’ve got planned for the seating area….

…and we are blessed!

Thanks for journeying along beside us!

    You two are just amazing – I hope your summer will be filled with having the opportunity to sit back and enjoy your accomplishments and revel in your talent! (When you are not taking care of the rest of the farm…..) I’m long overdue for a visit – sending big hugs to you both! Judy

    Wow Ellen, You all have been working so hard for so long!!! With great success! I think you need a long vacation! Maybe another river trip in England.
    Take care,
    Trudy

    The shelves are so cute! How frustrating to have the paint not match! It should come with a guarantee-if they screw up, they come and repaint! I’m starting my own painting project today. The old tile is out of the kitchen, the new under surfaces are in so I am painting before the counter install. Progress!

      So exciting! Goodbye old tile, that you hated!! send me some pictures!

    Can hardly wait for the next “little” project 🙂

    It’s coming along! AND is that a church pew for the seating area??

    • Ellen March 3, 2020, 8:08 pm

      It IS! A 16 footer out of an old Baptist church, we’ve plans…. once done, we’ll need to ‘break it in’ with a bit of communion wine!
