Painted the kitchen

We spent the weekend painting the kitchen. Well, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon/night. And only three walls.

Our kitchen is still torn apart and unusable - other than the refrigerator is plugged in (but in a different place). At the end of this week we will have been without cupboards, counter, sink, stove, dishwasher and floor covering for 4 weeks, and all our food, utensils and dishes have been scattered about our living room for TWO MONTHS!

Anyway, the cupboards got painted last week - at least the parts that are still there (the doors and drawers are at their shop). So we decided to go ahead and paint the walls where the drywall had been replaced and where the cupboards are. We primed everything Saturday night and put on two coats of paint Sunday.

We didn't paint the wall where our refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and trim boards are stacked along. We will do that after those things are put back where they go.

I have no idea what will happen this week. They are supposed to be painting the doors and drawers, and still need to replace all the outlets/switches, put in the sink and countertop, situate the appliances back where they go, and put the floor down. I can see what was supposed to take "2-3 weeks" easily taking another 2-3 weeks at the rate they've been working so far.

I realize these are first-world problems, but I've been so discouraged and disappointed with this project. I'm tired of not having a kitchen, not knowing where anything is even though it seems like EVERYTHING is piled right there, and I'm sick of.... well, I'm just sick of everything right now. And tired.

At least the three walls we painted look nice.
