Out with the Old....In with the New..

Yesterday we tried to finish out the kitchen area...  slow going...  realized the older AC unit we planned on using wasn't going to cut the Texas heat coming soon...  so went and bought a new one... let's hope this one will do the job...  We did get as far as setting the microwave etc.. still need to check electrical, finish trim work and touch up paint. (in the area) LOL!!!!

******Disclaimer****** I feel I need to keep making these...LOL  WE ARE NOT professionals... we are just making it up as we go... :)

Walking the Floor Over You... (Part One)

Today we installed the flooring.  It was a lot easier than we thought it would be.  We had already cleared the floor of nails and screws...  Then we filled in any holes in floor with foam insulation.  We then leveled areas with floor patch.  Cut out the flooring and installed.  Baseboards are next!  Link below is where we purchased the flooring

Compartments For The Safekeeping :)

Last week I sanded and painted the kitchen cabinets.  So far we have installed the upper cabinets.   I did prime the cabinets before I painted them.

I knew I wanted to paint the cabinets the color of these canisters that I have had for awhile.  I decided just to paint the doors, that way if I ever want to change the color it is easier than re-painting the whole cabinets. 
I always have left over paint so I decided to try and match it myself.  I think I did pretty good...
   
Pretty close

The cabinets are not real wood so I had to sand them... I think I put 3 coats of paint..  I expect it will scratch easy, but it is after all a camper.. a few scratches are okay :)







A before and later... can't wait for the AFTER
