Is the redecorating something you do for a living or just a hobby?
I think it looks very good! Especially when you compare the pics!
And 2 weeks aint that long! Looks great and totally different!

thanks! my roommate did most of the work though. i don't do it for a living. at least not right now but may be in the very near future if i don't get a job back in the oil and gas industry.

it's "khaki" paint. i tried to get paul to accent the back wall with another color but i guess he decided not to.

If you ever want to make a few bucks, go live with my wife...she'll put ya to work!

Our house needs more work than I care to admit. You've all seen my house tour video by now...

I'll be posting a new one in a month. There's a lot of work done now but more to go! I need a plumber next...

plthijinx · 08-14-2009, 05:57 PM

ahhhhhhhlmost done. the counter top guys just left and all that's left is for a friend of ours to show up and install the plumbing. helps having a friend that's a master plumber!! anyway, these counter tops look really good! we're proud of our work. the other day the light above the sink got a new circuit. you see, when paul bought the townhome the only way to turn that light off was to unscrew the bulb. some idiot hard wired the thing. so we went to homo depot and bought a 2-switch single gang switch to control the garbage disposal and dishwasher then i installed a switch for the overhead light. ran it off the hot that feeds the disposal.....oh, and my dumb ass found out that yes, you can, stop a ceiling fan dead with your head.

Those counters look great! Oh, but why are the sinks two different sizes? That is odd to me.

Mighty purty.

Looks great, although I would turn the paper towel holder about 30 degrees to make it face the sink a little bit more.

i fried the plug on the garbage disposal and had to put another one on. the plug that paul bought was for #14 gauge or smaller but all i had at the time was #12 romex. anyway, fixed that and here are the fixtures...
