Print Shop Kitchen ... Still in Process

Renovations for the print shop kitchen began in October 2009. While much has been done, there is still quite a bit left to do. As my work has slowed down a bit the last couple weeks, I have had time to continue the kitchen makeover.

I will give credit to the TV shows "This Old House" and "Ask This Old House" for giving me examples of how to do the work (it pays to watch TV sometimes!!!), as well as their website for excellent step-by-step instructions and videos for us novices.
Anyway, I patched drywall, created corners, primed, and painted the wall space above the sink. The next step is to build a frame of sorts for the window to hide the uneven drywall patching and create a sill (thank you, Mark, for the idea and drawings) for the tile to meet. Then tile the backsplash.
Today, I tackled wallpapering, with helpful instructions/demonstrations from Philip. Boy, was that a job! Don't think I'll volunteer to do that anytime soon, though I am sort of getting the hang of it (no pun intended).
