We’ve finished painting the right side of the kitchen and added a second coat to the left side. I can’t even begin to explain how good it feels to get that done. It looks so clean now and finally starting to feel like a little bit of our own space.

As far a future plans go, we have a pretty good sized alcove between my mom’s bedroom and yong’s bedroom that was set up previously with (what looks like) DIY-shelves and a storage closet.

The plan is to turn it into a bar station: Using a buffet table/sideboard to store bottles/stemware/glasses. We’re also lacking in the linen closet department so I though using a small wardrobe (Ikea?) next to the bar would help resolve that issue. In the end, it’ll all come down to what fits and what we can afford I suppose. I’m hoping to have this done by our housewarming party in late January/early February. Wish me luck!
