THE ANTI-BUCKET LIST

[Ponypoor]

Thanks!

I'm most likely leaving it as it is now. I might come back to it but I'd really like to list it for sale while the weather is still nice. No house looks good in November around here. October is iffy. Sometimes it has weather like September and sometimes it is like November. I'm moving on to the other things. But if you enjoy putting together ideas enough to play with it even when it is unlikely more will be done on it, I would like to hear them.

I don't have a picture to post but three walls are the dark blue in this picture. The fourth wall is a light blue. The kitchen sink is black. You can see the floor if you click on the picture (or maybe thatvis just on a phone).

It is a "1950's, everything a small family needs but nothing extra" type of house. 7' ceilings, for example. So it doesn't make sense to upgrade too much.

The "two or three hours" turned out to be six. And it still has a few traces of paint. I couldn't go as fast the second day - my hands are too sore and cramping and it was the parts that were hardest to reach.

That’s a darling kitchen, if you want to get the best bang for your buck, I’d just change out the fittings (handles) with a nice gold or brass to jazz it up.

Sometimes just a little bling is all it needs. I would put one row of tile with a nice gold filigree design on the wall as a splash guard for the counter.

Also the outlet - I would definitely get a grey or blue coloured cover rather then that buff coloured one.

Like this one:

(Ignore the gap I need to finish grouting the tile there - I will never do tile again, messy!)
