Kitchen Renovation Updates

[Brneyedgrl80]

As a few (or a couple) or you know, I'm in the process of renovating my kitchen into a retro kitchen. Well, we finally got some more of the walls painted after mudding and sanding and mudding and sanding and finally primering. Sigh... the things you have to do for smooth walls.

Well, all that's left now two more walls, but neither are whole complete walls. One has a huge window (no actual glass) in it for the bar that we have and the other has a door way in it, but still, it's going to take awhile.

We also completed installing the cabinet door hinges so now they are all chrome and uniform.

I also got a pink Starlite rotary wall phone (before the company was bought out by GTE) to eventually hang up in on the kitchen wall one day.

I've included a picture of part of the walls before they got torn apart.

2nd Picture

And here's a picture of the "during" process.

You can see the 2nd original layer of wallpaper underneath the 1st layer. The second layer has become one with the wall and could not be scraped off.

Present Time

And here is a picture of what it looks like now.

It just needs some touch up paint here and there and it will be ready to have stuff hung on it!

Looks Great !

Can't wait to see the finished kitchen. The O'Keefe Merrit and the Foodarama are cool.

Wow! Where did you get that soap dispenser? I've never seen anything like it!

Soap Dispenser

Actually Veg, I'm not sure if it is a soap dispenser, lol. But it is a dispenser of some sort. I got it off of ebay for about $6. I emailed the seller asking if it could be used as a soap dispenser and she said she didn't see why not.

I loved it when I saw the pink and white design and thought it would be perfect for my kitchen!

Thanks customline, I'm looking forward to getting my Foodarama restored one day... sigh... it will be a thing of beauty.

Auction

Here is the link to the auction for the dispenser, in case anyone is interested. Plus, you can see what else the seller has as well.

BTW I love that pink starlite phone. I have the white desk model but without the lighted dial, those required a special cord with a plug in power supply. The Starlite was brought out to counter Western Electrics Princess phone.
