One, we've been living without table or chairs for the past two weeks and have been desperate for bar stools (which we finally scored today, 4 for $50, holla). So, you and I have both had barstools at the forefront of our brains - and I'm glad you got good money for yours because if you had given them away, it would have been tragic irony. Two, I almost bought that shower curtain yesterday. So gorgeous. Three, we started the cabinet painting process today! The glory of white cabinets await. And our walls are also a pretty gray, like yours, but I think the decor similarities between us will probably end there, because I'm all about the natural wood.

The door color is fabulous, and I really like how the chairs match, but don't. <br />Some of my friends with solid-food-eating littles have recovered their chairs, and they put clear vinyl on top of their pretty fabric. (If we ever eat at anything besides the coffee table, I would consider it...I don't think my couch would do well covered in plastic.)mrs.lmnophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02683780299101973689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-1901291104230805502012-10-19T12:18:18.266-04:002012-10-19T12:18:18.266-04:00Your kitchen looks amazing!

Lo...Your kitchen looks amazing! Several things... <br />Love love love the painted french doors - such a great idea! The barstools are a great find - and it was pretty genius to use the shower curtain for cute fabric (i am totally stealing this idea). Also, I think you might be able to spray the chairs with scotchguard upholstery/fabric protecter. I laughed about not being finishers, because that is us, exactly. We do this big project, and then are so ready to get moved back into the room, we just never finish the details. That is our goal for winter...but I am doubtful!<br /><br />Jesse and Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427280912690213175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-5109972862506818432012-10-19T11:45:37.455-04:002012-10-19T11:45:37.455-04:00jesse HAS entered the light. this conversion was c...jesse HAS entered the light. this conversion was completed yesterday when i bought a chest at goodwill for $35 for our house that we ended up not loving. he kind of threw down on me despite my assurances that i would at least get our money back. naturally we sold it yesterday for $75. holla.<br /><br />i think our french doors are actually steel? when we drill into them there is shiny metal. that is the extent of my alchemical knowledge. maybe they have a vinyl coating? i dont know. i used a brush and, after trying to just use a piece of cardstock to protect the glass as i painted the trims (FAIL), went ahead and taped. it was annoying and halfway through i just went for it and painted like crazy and then wiped the paint of the glass. it should be noted that i didnt go nuts on painting the trim perfectly...but i have yet to even notice it in daily life.keight dukeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887072283297653771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-52639856829280173032012-10-19T11:41:42.721-04:002012-10-19T11:41:42.721-04:00yay shower curtain twins! ugh, right now the kids ...yay shower curtain twins! ugh, right now the kids seem to think that sitting in the bar stools is an invitation to aerial maneuvers. usually ON me and jesse. keight dukeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887072283297653771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-33223213187290806902012-10-19T11:40:45.305-04:002012-10-19T11:40:45.305-04:00hahahaha, what if i came here and did a post about...hahahaha, what if i came here and did a post about your parasites?!?! noah may be on to something: a video game where you FIGHT the poop worms. eh? eh? btw. i love you hard.keight dukeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04887072283297653771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5261923494451820843.post-9776682880679077022012-10-19T11:32:34.620-04:002012-10-19T11:32:34.620-04:00after our text conversation last night I saw this ...after our text conversation last night I saw this title and was fully prepared for you to be picking on us. :)<br /><br />noah says to me this morning when i told him why i am treating the whole family with meds -- "Oh yeah - I saw a worm in my poop last Saturday" -- I was all "WHAT THA??

You deserve it.<br /><br />I was considering painting the white on our nice storm door to match the yellow I want to paint our front, wooden door (which, obviously, resides behind the storm door--continuity is making me consider this.) The storm is metal, so I'm hesitant. I know your French doors are, what, vinyl? so it's not the same thing. But did it go okay? Did you use a roller or brush? How did you protect the glass? Just gathering info here. p.s., the blue is serene and adult and a great contrast from the gray. Good choice.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154692504751436022noreply@blogger.com
