Ok, here's the plan!

First of all, thanks for visiting! I want to keep this a surprise for Livvy, and this seems like the best way, since she sees my blog a lot (when I'm typing up entries and such). First thing I'm going to do is take you off here, to the post that started all this (for me, anyway). Peek here to see what we're up to!

Isn't that the coolest?!?!?!?

So, before I even got a photo taken, I've already started taking off doors, the front trim and such:


I managed to find the stainless steel adhesive covering at Lowe's...so we're doing that for the fridge and oven, the front trim piece and the stove top. The hinges on the entertainment were black:


Not anymore!


Just a note - any time you need screws to be a different color, just twist them into a piece of corrugated cardboard, then paint them. It's really easy to do and they can stay that way until they're dry, so they stay 'neat'. Also, we are using paint from previous projects. When you're done spray painting something, turn the can upside down and spray until only air comes out, then cap it. This keeps the cap from clogging up with dried paint. (Nowadays, they have some paint cans that will spray at any angle, so check those for instructions on how to preserve the leftover paint.)

More pictures soon! Got any ideas for us, please leave a comment. Thanks!! :)
