Kitchen ceiling, Day 2.

 So, after much profanity and wasted tiles, the first round of ceiling tile is up. It looks SO much better already, and there is more light as well. Not sure how much insulation benefit we'll get, but considering the entire ceiling was ripped out, and there is NO insulation up there at the moment, any is a good. thing. (Insulation being next on the list of major upgrades.)

  

 There has been an issue with the Elfa shelves. The Container Store guy kept harping that we HAD to use their toggle bolt system for the shelves, they were designed for them, yadda yadda. They looked a bit flimsy to me, but the guy sounded good, so we bought the overpriced things. Sure enough, the bolts are pulling out of the wall. So it is off to Lowe's to get some heavy duty ones like I wanted to use in the first place.

 Next kitchen project will be the window. It needs a major cleaning and upgrade, all the old blind hardware removed, old paint/caulk removed and replaced, that kind of stuff. Once that gets done, then I'll sew a cafe curtain for the window, that then on to the really scary part............the SINK!

 Luckily that's not for a few weeks. (Yay!)
