Late Night Make-Over

(I actually wrote this a few weeks ago)
 I swore off all "projects" this summer and especially all painting projects.  So...last night I painted!  In all honesty I really didn't want to do it.  I have always thought our food storage room would look better if I painted the walls and floor, but really, it was never going to happen.  

Until, the department of Agriculture told me I had to have my food storage room inspected in order to sell fish. I didn't think I would pass with all the old water damage on ground.  So at 1am I finished painting the floor and priming the wall (it had to be done tonight...who knew cement floor paint takes a minimum of 72hrs to dry...and the inspection is in 81hrs).  

Anywho, thank you Utah Department of Agriculture for helping me get a nautical inspired food storage room.

Before Pics

(I don't know why I never remember to get a before picture before I start the project)

 

 The interrogation room

 yikes, all this stuff fits in that little room

 Half the floor painted--what a difference it makes

The first stripe :)

 

 After Pics

 ahhh...much better

 order (not so much of an interrogation room anymore)

 I love these cabinets now.  I never would have done this upstairs, but I seriously love the red-orange cabinets and the gold hardware. They remind me of San Francisco.

   

As for the floor color I went with good old Bennington Gray once again.  No more old water damage marks.  Just smooth and clean.

 

and here is a shot of my "nautical striped" wall.  I love nautical themes, and since the fish is the reason for the redo I thought "why fight it?"

As the kids tell me, we now have "the nicest storage room in the whole neighborhood!"
