This last week has been filled with much work in the kitchen by Emily and me. Thankfully when we’re done it will transform from this:

To this:

I kid, I kid. Actually, we’re just painting the cabinets, but that has turned into a much larger ordeal than I imagined it would be. Sanding has been so much more of a pain than it should be. I’m hoping that they can get done soon, and that they look pretty decent when they are done. We are going for a dark chocolate color with brushed silver hinges and adding handles to the doors/drawers.

I already replaced the lighting with a nicer track from Ikea, and that was really simple. It’s so stressful having all the cabinets empty with dust everywhere. At this point, finishing will be a really nice relief.

The best part of the experience has been slowly turning the condo from my bachelor pad to Emily’s and my future home together.
