b&b vis·it –verb: to go and stay with a person or group of persons for the purpose of completing tasks (e.g. stain deck furniture, paint exterior doors, build raised garden beds, install a new roof, etc.)
The purpose of this "visit"? To help Will and Maggie give their kitchen penny-friendly overhaul.
Someday in the not-so-distant future, Will and I hope to put a generous addition on our lovely Milford home ("future" being of key importance in this equation). So in the meantime, and before baby, we're looking to spruce up our current cooking space.What does the sprucing entail? Well, painting the walls and our honey-colored oak cabinets, installing new door knobs and drawer pulls, tiling the back-splash, replacing the stove and adding new edging on the counters. (I really wanted to include new counters but couldn't justify spending $1500 on something we'll probably rip out in two years.)
Although, following a conversation with our friendly home repair guy, I'm kind of sort of super anxious about painting the cabinets. (Google "painting oak cabinets" and you'll see what I mean - apparently you either love or hate the result.) But overall, I'm looking forward to this week and next weekend - working with (and being totally spoiled by) my mom and dad.
