Built-In Beadboard Flipped

I finally installed the beadboard on our built-in hutch after flipping it around. The back side is caked with paint which would have been nearly impossible to remove. Jeremy and Dawn from Bungalowcious gave me this idea which worked out great. I still need to do more sanding on the rest of the hutch before I stain it.

Bathroom Wall Sconces

Finally one year later we ordered the wall sconces for the bathroom. We bought them from Rejuvenation. All I have left to do in the bathroom is to paint the beadboard trim.




I bought this solid brass sign for the bathroom door.

Farmhouse Sink

Here is our new Farmhouse sink that will be in our kitchen. It has been sitting in a shipping crate in the dining room for a year and will soon be installed in the kitchen. I can't wait!! I ordered it from Canyon Bath online and I am really happy with the quality of this cast iron sink. It weighs 150 lbs and mounts on the wall. I had to re-build part of the kitchen wall to support the weight of the sink. Legs for this sink is optional. Although, I might purchase them in the future. They cost $300 and I am in no hurry.


The faucet I also bought online at Homeclick. It was rather difficult for me to find one with porcelain handles instead of the chrome ones.

Pantry Paint Colors

After Jovita primered the pantry, she painted the four shades of yellow we picked out at the store. (L-R) Tiggers Tummy, Cornbread Yellow, Melted Butter, and Vintage Yellow. We decided to go with the Tiggers Tummy on the far left. It is a Disney Color. We felt that it would be a color that we would not get tired of. Initially, when we looked at the swatches, we were leaning towards the Cornbread Yellow which ended up being too dark. The Melted Butter has an orange tint and the vintage yellow has a bit of a mustard shade in it. Keeping in mind that all of the trim will be white, we feel that the Tiggers Tummy on the far left will work the best. Our new dishes will be red in color to compliment the white and yellow.


Jovita primered the pantry on Saturday. Since we do not have a paint sprayer, she used a brush on the beadboard. We would have preferred a paint roller. However, the roller does not get into the tight grooves of the beadboard.
