Painting

In a last minute decision I nixed the Butter Pecan for the kitchen and went with Malt instead. I was afraid Butter Pecan had too much pink/purple undertone. It's really hard to capture these colors in a still photo, so we tried some with flash and some without. I affectionately call the kitchen color "Barbie Doll Flesh". The bathroom is just a very light grey, that will hopefully make the white fixures pop. It's hard to tell what it looks like at all in the picture, except when compared to the white primer, so I tried to capture that. I was going for a sort of "upscale hotel" look. We'll see if it all comes together once everything is in place.
While we have been painting, the carpenter has been putting up all the new trim and the backer board for the tub. These should be simple jobs, but of course we ran into some issues on how to do the new post in the kitchen because the front has 1/2 inch of drywall below it, whereas the back has 1 inch of old plaster... so equal sizes of wood surrounding it wasn't going to work- but I think we've figured out what to do- I'll post pics when it's done. The backer board also had issues when the carpenter realized the studs were warped just enough (from old water damage we think) to make the board bow just enough to mess up tile that is placed on it (stupid fickle tile!). He's going to fix the studs tomorrow.
Cabinets are arriving "early next week" (so much for us getting them in this week by doing the painting ourselves) and we're starting to floor tile job first so as not to have any unproductive days. Can't wait to see what the new floor looks likes!
