New Kitchen / Новая Кухня


While Jeff was out for his business trip I needed something to keep me sane, so I went crazy and started a kitchen make over. First things first: the wall paper had to go. But those of you who know me will think that doesn't sound crazy enough, you are right: The carpet was out next. And the linoleum had to go too.

Here is the partially finished view (the walls are already done)

the wood laminate flooring was a lot of fun. I watched Jeff's dad work one day and decided that I could do it too. So half of the floor is all me :-) I even got myself a toy (a power jig saw).

And since it was very hot and bright outside this is how I looked when I worked :)

(bondana was a timely present from a new friend from Peru )


And here is the end result:
Sorry, my camera can't quite capture the glaze work I did on the walls, so if you want to see it you will have to come visit. I will be happy to see you all!!!
