Painting prep

Recently I came home to a powder room with paint samples stuck between the mirror and wall and a kitchen with paint samples stuck between a kitchen cabinet and wall. Given the numerous small “panels” of wall between the countertop and upper cabinets, we agreed to have a professional come in and do it. The painters come tomorrow, so good-bye bland-colors in the kitchen and lavatory! Because the kitchen cabinets have quite a bit of pink, we chose “Abalone pink,” which should add warmth. Since the lavatory is small, we tried to be a bit more daring with “Pale crocus.”

So tonight the counters are bare except for a pump bottle of hand soap and — one of life’s essentials — the coffee grinder.

Eager to see the end result. I think I remember your last job. Didn't you just pain your foyer?

@digitalrn Yes, it was the two-story foyer. I don't have the right ladders … nor do I have the right "back" for that anymore!
