Or yellow, as we've decided to paint our kitchen and bathroom. It's a very light yellow, much lighter than the dirty paint left behind by the house's previous tenants (we happen to think our house likes us much more than it ever liked them).
We've moved our renovation train out of the bedrooms and on to the big rooms: kitchen, bathroom, dining room. Lauren and I picked up some furniture before we started slapping paint on the walls: a small wood kitchen table for just a couple of us, 3 chairs, and a dining room table. The kitchen table was a must - we picked it up right away at target for 60 bucks. A bit pricey, but we couldn't eat on the floor, could we? It's very convenient, collapsible, and wood - so we picked it up along with 3 folding chairs the other day.
Our dining table, however, was a true find. In one of our Goodwill excursions, we saw this beautiful white painted wood table on display. Walking up to it, we realized that the top was covered in white tile with an unpainted wood edge. For 40 bucks, we thought we found a steal - we could bleach the grout around the tile and repaint the white legs for mere pennies. Then, as we handed over the ticket to the cashier, we found out that our table was actually 50 percent off! So we landed a great dining table for only 20 bucks.
Today we completed the puzzle, painting the kitchen and bathroom. What a transformation. Once we start to hang our art on the walls, these rooms should really come together. Next stop on the renovation train: living room.
