No Idle Hands Here

I have been painting my mom's house for weeks now. Her kitchen was the first to be done. As you can see, her cabinets were a dreary faux wood. Her walls were an unfortunate wallpaper with nightmarish flowers. I had to put three coats of primer and up to four coats of paint to cover anything at all. So far it is working and mom loves it.

I am enjoying it because it means I have a large scale project to work on every night instead of starring at my empty email box. Pathetic I know. It also keeps me active. Active is good. My mind is clear when I paint. I listen to music and dance around (like the visual?) By the end of the night I am covered in it. This morning my friend told me I looked like I had gray hair from all the primer left in it.

Progress is a little slow since there is SO much to be done but I am really pleased so far. I will update as I complete more.
