New Paint in Kitchen & Master Bath

     My husband and I had recently been discussing painting our kitchen and master bathroom walls. Although, we also discussed the rest of the home (and we will get to it), these rooms were where we wanted to start. Our kitchen walls were sheet-rock with printed, multicolored fruits and vegetables all over; our master bath was printed, multicolored flowers. We did not really like that.
     Low and behold, last week a very good friend of ours dropped by with 10+ gallons of interior paint and asked if we wanted it. (Of course we did!) It is all perfectly good paint, that was left over from cleaning up/remodeling rentals.  The owners wanted to clear out their storage and asked our friend to haul it off. He told them he knew someone that would take it, with their permission. The owners agreed. Win - Win situation!  We now have enough paint for every room in our home and 10+ gallons of paint saved from the landfill.
     Our project last weekend, of course, was to paint our kitchen and master bathroom. It also led to some minor crafty redecoration, which we will show in an upcoming video:  Our Resourceful Projects: Re-purposed, Re-used, Re-cycled - Pt 1. We couldn't be happier with the outcome: no more printed walls that nothing matches and the only cost we have in these projects is for a paint pan and roller.

     We are now deciding what this weekends project will be. Can't wait to get started!
