Lazarus Rising

Well. There's a lot new here at This Old PMQ, namely, complete made over kitchens and living room.

We went from ick (seafoam green and yellowed trim) to FABULOUS! in one easy paint application. Well, maybe it wasn't so easy; there was a lot of wall fixing to do before the paint went up.

I'm not saying that my husband didn't do a good job fixing up the house. He did a lot of work before I ever got here. However, for some reason, he seems to lose all sense of direction when choosing paint colours.

As you can see, my husband must have had a head injury or simliar when choosing paint. Bear in mind, it rains about 360 days a year here in Halifax, so you need cheerful colours. Not a washed out sage green [he now claims this 'came like that'. Ed.]. But he tried, and really, what more can we ask?

Also, from the old photos he has somewhere that I'll codge and post here, there used to be egregious simulated-tile panelling in the kitchen. That had to go. Now, the kitchen is really looking great, with the new paint, and repainted cabinets with new hardware (that he did all on his own).

Next step...floor fixing.
