Raising the Roof


Four weeks ago while I was on break between classes Maria made the mistake of buying me a Home Depot giftcard to thank me for all that I do. She came home later that same day and found that Quentin and I had painted our kitchen black (charcoal actually). I also painted our front room (not pictured) gray and our dining room table black (not pictured either). To my surprise she liked it and so has most everyone who has come by. I think it is much better than the Easter egg walls we used to have.


Today I decided to hook up a stereo system in the kitchen so we could listen to music while cooking, cleaning, or eating. A co-worker back in the day gave me a dvd/cd/am/fm player and it fit perfectly above the fridge and the speakers were small enough to fit above the cabinets (see bottom pic w/ arrows).


I love Maria and her willingness to put up with all my crazy antics.

AWESOME! I LOVE the black in the kitchen. My mother in law wants to paint her kitchen black SOO bad, just can't do it...the hubby wouldn't like it she says. Maria is a lucky woman, the house looks great and I LOVE having music in the kitchen...so nice! GREAT JOB!
