\"kitchen<\/a>When I moved into this sweet little house 3 years ago, I knew that I didn’t like the wallpaper and paint in the kitchen. Although there’s a dark alcove, most of the room is nice and bright with a large bow window, so I could ignore it for a while, but not forever.<\/p>\n

For several months I thought I’d strip the wallpaper myself and paint. Finally I realized I’d much rather pay someone to do that. I used the NextDoor app and got some recommendations, ultimately choosing a GREAT small, local firm, Stamp Paints<\/a>. Josh and Kay were a pleasure to work with, very responsive, professional, and reliable. In addition, they are dedicated to giving back to the community and make donations of both money and time regularly.<\/p>\n

Well. I cannot stress enough just how happy I am<\/em> that I hired Josh to do the job. Under that first layer of wallpaper, which came off relatively easily, was paint over another layer of wallpaper. And paint over a third layer of wallpaper under that! Hours and hours spent by a professional would have translated to days and days and curses and frustration and anger and hatred if I’d been doing it myself.<\/p>\n

After the wallpaper was removed and minor repairs made, Josh painted the walls. The chair rail and below are a lovely blue (Sherwin Williams Ebbtide); above is a nice green (Sherwin Williams Breaktime).<\/p>\n

\"kitchen<\/a><\/p>\n

I left the cabinets and other trim white for now, and painting the doors was not part of his bid, so I still have to paint the kitchen side of the two doors. I’ve just been too busy weaving to get to it. There will be time this winter; that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. <\/p>\n

I also want to replace that light fixture by the refrigerator with something that ‘fits’ the rest of the room, but that would require going to a store and shopping. Ugh.<\/p>\n

\"kitchen<\/a><\/p>\n

I really like the new look – except for my mess on the counter. After I paint the doors I plan to paint my bathroom, too. We’ll see when that happens, as I’ve committed to some painting at my daughter’s flip house and my son’s new home. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
