The final cost…$1,000 for a new kitchen ceiling. So worth it! Why didn’t I do this sooner?
You can see the patches and outline of the old kitchen on the ceiling
It took a few short hours for the contractor to cover it. There was no “damage”, it was truly a cosmetic fix only. The patches in the ceiling are where the electric ran through previously to the stove that was in the middle of the floor.
Falling in Love All Over Again
My open concept kitchen with plenty of room for several cooks and multiple work stations brings joy every time I work in it. I feel truly blessed to have gotten to create a space and a home that is truly built for for what I hold dear. I do agree with commentors that the yellow is a bit much. But I dreamt of a yellow kitchen for years.
And now it has a beautiful, “farm house” style ceiling to match.

While the main motivation for getting to work on some lingering house projects is the real possibility of my decision to sell the house sometime in 2025. And the priorities come from the realtor’s observations and suggestions. I cannot say that I am not falling in love all over again with my home.
I always thought what a shame it was that my parents spent all the time and money to improve their home before they moved from Virginia and never enjoyed it. While I certainly lean toward selling most days, that decision is certainly not firmed up yet. And I will most definitely enjoy the improvements for as long as I am here.
Next up…refinishing my small stick original pine floors. I cannot wait to see the finish project.
