- MONDAY - Grout entryway,
Paint walls in refrigerator alcove, Set tiles for under refrigerator so we can get it moved out of the living room,Texture kitchen wall and get it painted,Paint bathroom walls with gripper paint to get it ready for texturing, Finish sorting through kitchen utensils andorganize 1-2 cabinets. I really wanted a simple farmhouse look so we changed out minds on what we will be doing on the kitchen walls (simple rough hewn cedar planking painted) and it will be so much easier, but required a trip to Home Depot and extra paint. It doesn't look like much here, but I promise it will look great soon.

Set tiles for under refrigerator so we can get it moved out of the living room, Finish the kitchen wall and the migration of "things". Finish sorting through kitchen utensils and bakeware.
Our son will be here for one night only and then my uncle will be here the next night. Both nights are weekend nights so we're eating in to avoid crowds and noise. When we asked what our son wanted to eat he very definitely said BBQ! So today I began my homemade BBQ sauce and Old Fashioned Boston baked beans ala Texas. Both taste better if they have a few days to let the flavors meld together.
