It is nice and warm here in Secretary. The lilac is about to bloom, and everything is starting to come alive again (unless my husband cut it down last year - let’s not even go there)!

I’ve been SO busy in the kitchen! I have wallpapered, painted a ton and you can see it all below. The first clip shows what I have been busy doing for a few weekends, which is painting my kitchen cabinets in Sherwin Williams Emerald paint. It has built-in urethane and is perfect for cabinetry. I hope you like the color. It is hard to tell right now what my vision is!

We are also ripping out the old linoleum in the kitchen. It has a subfloor underneath and has left a glued-on paper mess behind on the original wood floors, which we would like to save. Sharing pics below for you to see. You can see how the floor runs in a different direction halfway through the room, which I kind of actually like :) Any suggestions on the best way to refinish these floors?

Have a fabulous weekend. What a gorgeous time of year!
