the return II

So, it's been a while.  So long that we've had a Jack in the meantime.

But Team Chianti is back with a mission.  While we struggle to find time for the bikes, we've decided to bring part of the kitchen into this decade (the cabinets, range, and countertops will have to hang back a while still).  4 1/2 years after the initial painting crusade we are finally ready to immerse ourselves back into it, but just barely.

Feast your eyes on the amazingly retro wallpaper we uncovered hiding beneath the pink and blue flowers.  It's kind of hard to see, I know, but that's because the previous owners primed over it so it has this lovely whitewash effect (ok, Pink wins, it's glue, not paint like I thought).

Pink is planning on removing the homage to Italian-chianti-basket wine and avocados tomorrow.  It reminds me of the wallpaper in my grandmother's kitchen at 10 Meadowbrook Road but Marsha says it's not the same.

I'll be sure to post pictures of our progress toward our asparagus-colored walls (oh, yeah!) and two-toned windows.  Sounds like a hot mess doesn't it?
