    The paint alone has made the world of difference. The red is perfect on the lower cabinets. But, all the special details are turning this make over into something uniquely amazing. Mom and Dad will be blown away.

      @maggiecamps6790 Před 10 dny +27

      I think the same. Maybe stomach. Elysia you will have 3 extra hours to finish any detail and will get to open the door to them and get their expressions first hand 😂. I say Phillip goes and the boys stay with you even if only to do the trash. I know you got this, but PLEASE listen when we say those 3 hours are precious at the house for you 🙏❤️ you all are too amazing love you guys 🤟🤟🤟🤟❤🥰🤗🤗

    I started my painting business when I was around 50 years old. I already had arthritis in my hands. I ALWAYS used a 4" mini roller to paint because a 9" roller filled with paint was a killer on my hands. People who don't have hand pain do not understand. I often got complimented by clients for the speed at which I could get a job done with those tiny rollers.

I'm here thinking, "get the boys to paint triangles!!! Let the guys go pick up mom and dad so you can gain some extra time!"

The minute the red went on, the kitchen got like 4 feet longer. I'm sitting here saying "Start the triangles!" What a blast! Your parents are going to flip out!!
    Keep going, you will be victorious!

    I love the red!!! I had been stressing about how you are going to put those drawer pull knobs on under the sink!! The plumbing is rigged and functional. I know you can still pull up the countertop but I was scared for the sink’s sake. Then I stopped and told myself, “Wait! This Elysia and Phil!! They’e got this with a ton of forethought and it’s all gonna be just fine!!” The IKEA cabinet is really cute in its smallness. I like the overall lines of it. It’s much more practical and nonintrusive in this kitchen. Great plan!! The living room is sooo nice from what was visible at this time. And you’re right. I/we are excited about this project!!!!!
    Good luck with what you plan to complete in the time you have left.
    You are loved right back!❤❤

    She’s right😂 I’ve been using the small roller for over 20 years. It just makes since to use one roller that can squeeze into small places, get the corners, and doesn’t leave drip marks. Than to use multiple size rollers or painting gadgets. IJS!
    Paint On Elysia! 😂

    It’s looking absolutely amazing, never thought I would like red cabinets, but I do. The backsplash is going to be phenomenal. You are so creative Elise and you and Phillip working together are the best. God bless you for what you were doing for your mom and dadand I know they will be very happy. Take care, try to get some rest and stay safe. Love to all of you.
