I lived in the upper unit of my duplex for a year and a half. I painted and made it really nice BEFORE I moved in. When I moved downstairs, I moved all my JUNQUE in with no more than a cleaning. When I try to fix anything up now, I'm working around all my STUFF, so it's slow going... plus I'm working much of the time.

My kitchen is a NORTH room and was painted ugly, Ugly, UGLY Beige, Tan, or something... I called it MUD! It was terribly depressing. Look what I done!

Addition: I forgot to mention, I have fabric to make Roman Shades in blue, yellow and green floral on cream. I also have an old ladder I am going to mount over the windows and string wicker patio lights through the rungs. Other wicker baskets may be placed on top for lightweight items to be stored in.
