I have the same problem with having several projects open at once. I found myself planning when I could start ripping the flooring out of the first floor bathroom. I played it safe with a lot of white in the kitchen. I still have accent colors...yellow, black and red. When the time came, I couldn't convince myself to paint the paneling grey, as I had originally planned to do. it's white. I do look forward to making curtains to change the look of the room with the seasons. I have lots of bark cloth. And I plan on still using the previous owners curtain rods. Thanks for the counter top tips. Our home is old (1920's) and our counter space measures unevenly too. How did you attach the laminate to the plywood? I'm assuming with glue...what kind of glue? Bye for now. Tiel Hi Amy,

It wasn't too terribly difficult a job - even for first timers. If you have an older home, just remember that your walls are most likely not square. We have a bit of a gap on one side because the wall has somewhat of a bow to it. It's not bad for a house built in 1937, but we weren't expecting the gap. We're definitely going to add a backsplash. I really like the picture with the tile that Pam posted that is a bathroom. We have a lot of work ahead of us with all the tile work, but I think it'll look great once it's completed. And, I think we'll work on that part before the wallpaper - then, I'll have plenty of time to choose one I love. That, and I need to finish a project before starting another - I'm bad with that. Have a great weekend!! Hi Tiel,
