kitchen remodeling. bwahahahaha!

i've changed my initial plans for roadtrip '09 quite a bit.  but, i'll still be taking one.  length, and location are going to change for sure, but, i need to do what i can afford right?  

hmm... anyhow, on to the meat and potatoes of the blog entry.

i am trying to do a lot to make this house look a bit better.  par example.  i am going to put up some frame pictures of the SF trip, and a rasterbation picture in the living room.  i'm going to paint those ugly-ass shelves in the kitchen a shade of greyish blue.  i'm going to put up a new bookshelf (somewhere?).  i am going to paint the ugly bathroom vanity a nice shade of chocolate brown (it's waterstained "oak"-color right now).  i'm going to paint the little hallway between bathroom/kitchen a shade of pale pink.  and i'm going to see how much work it'd be to rip up the NASTY linoleum tile in the kitchen.

my MASTERPIECE though... is the kitchen counters. and sink. and faucet.  
i am going to (perhaps) take out the countertops (they are WARPED beyond repair, because they were installed incorrectly, and water has seeped into them.  the sink is an abomination, and grosses me out so much, we do the dishes on top of plastic containers.  and the faucet... LOL.  

these are the projected plans.

yeah, i know, it will cost money.  duh.  but, i figure we have another 3-4 years (at the very least) in here, and i'd like to enjoy what i live in, ya know?  

eventually, i'm going to try and rearrange the set up in the house too, and get a new dining table, and use my current table as a desk.  (it's really hard to have more than two people sit at this table, considering it's made for two people LOL)  but, that's all future-war stuff.  

anyhow, i think i shall take a nice shower now.  toodle-oo.

For remodeling projects I would definitely recommend checking for materials on KC, Lawrence and Topeka Craigslist. You might find some super cheap stuff that people either ripped out, or bought for a project they couldn't complete.
