Dry-walling the Kitchen

In my last blog post, I said I was overdue, but it's been over three months (May) since I've updated this blog. And the pictures from that post were three months prior to that (February)! Fear not--there has been a lot of work going on at the house! Since I have some catching up to do, this post will contain pictures from as far back as March. Then I'll have to do some more posts to get caught up.

Had to open up some of the old drywall to run wiring for the under-cabinet lights and range hood.

How about that spice rack?

Color samples taped to the kitchen wall.

So much work left to do!

Back to dry-walling--old and new.

Ready for the plasterers!

I hung the drywall myself, which wasn't bad. The 4'x8' sheets just fit, width-wise, in the back of the Durango and only hung out a few inches, so I just had to tie down the tailgate. After watching some YouTube videos on plastering, I decided that it would be worth hiring professionals. Our kitchen designer, Joe Ricardi, had told us that he would send his plastering crew if we wanted, and he gave us a great deal. Well worth it! Camille and his assistant came out and plastered the kitchen in half a day. They did a great job!

Glad we decided to hire professional plasterers!

Getting there!

Stay tuned. The next post will be coming soon!
