So, we’ve had this remodel project going for a while. We stared by poking a hole in the Southern wall from our kitchen into the living room so we could get all that sun into the kitchen. That worked pretty well, but I wasn’t terribly motivated to get the mudding done. Well, I got that done over the course of two weeks. The previous owners did us a big favor by going with some really rough texture with lots of trowel lines in it. It’s not perfect, but I think it’s passable.
This past week, Rebecca’s gone to town on painting the kitchen, and we’ve even fixed some overlooked wall gouges from our cabinet hanging two summers ago. We finished that up this past weekend, and I got the living room’s base coat painted. My wife’s going to have to take on the faux finish, and then I can get to work on the red oak ledge for the passthrough.
