Day: too many.

So it's Monday, February 8th and it feels like we have a long ways to go. The house has consumed our every waking and sleeping moment. There has been a lot of progress made on Jose's end, especially in regards to the walls and rewiring/repiping of electric and gas lines in the kitchen. To think TJ and I wanted to do the kitchen wall on our own is a joke. I think it is safe to say that for the sake of our relationship and sanity, we did the right thing. As of right now, Jose is about 80% percent complete. After Jose is done, TJ and I will begin the clean up and painting preparations, as well finally hanging the kitchen cabinets.

I estimate painting will not be too hard. I think the most time consuming part of painting is always the prep work and clean up. Our goal at this point is to have everything ready for painting by the end of this week. We have chosen a lot of interesting colors for the home and hope we do not resent any of them. Especially the one we are planning on using in the entry hallway. A few weeks ago, TJ and I went on a shopping spree at Home Depot and got Ralph Lauren Paint for $13 bucks a gallon. It is being discontinued at home depot, so we could not pass up the offer.

Below is the color palette we are intending on using and some ideas for the walls.

Entry Way: Island Brights:Beach Yellow
TJ and I are going to Buenos Aires next month and fell in love with the hotel we are staying at. Our plan is create the white panel on the bottom and use the yellow/green above.


Living Room: Urban Loft: Neutral Brown and Washington Square (accent wall) Ralph Lauren also has this paint that gives walls some texture called candlelight. We got this stuff on clearance too. My plan is to do a monochromatic plaid effect of the eggplant wall with the coats of the candlelight paint.

Bedroom: Urban Loft: Soft Earth This color is beautiful. We searched everywhere for it.

As for the Kitchen, we think we will incorporate the same Neutral brown color from the living to room to make it flow and incorporate the entire living area.

We are so anxious to start painting and get the ball rolling. More pictures to come soon. As requested, here is a picture of the front of the house.








Hope everyone has a great week!

Cheers,

Amhir & TJ
