Hick House Downstairs: Kitchen 03-21-19

The minute I typed up the last kitchen update on Hick House, it was already obsolete. HOS (Hick's Oldest Son) has been doing some work on it at night, which Hick sees the next day. He's becoming a miser with the pictures, though. Hick says there's not much new to see because the work they're doing right now is not all that observable. Still, I can show you part of the kitchen.

Here's the wall of the kitchen where Hick and HOS covered the flue. That door goes into the living room. HOS finished the drywall at the top of the flue, and put up the flooring that Hick used for paneling around the kitchen counter. The corner with a gap is going to have trim board on it. HOS still has another coat to apply to the ceiling, and paint touch-ups to do.

Here's the kitchen sink and counter area. I assure you, the paint is the same as on the other wall, it just looks different here from the lighting and Hick's phone camera. I know some people might recoil at that color, but Hick is using paint he already had, and that came from the accent wall Genius painted in his bedroom a while back. I am not an impartial observer, since green is my favorite color!

HOS has cleaned up the built-in cabinets, and is painting them white, with gray accents (like the door and window trim). He's only got a base coat on that one cabinet door in this photo. There will be a little wall to close in the gap between the built-ins and the tall cabinet. The bottom of the wall on the right is going to have paneling. Hick and HOS want to do an industrial theme, and make it metal, like roofing metal. I'm guessing it will be silver, but it comes in all colors, and Hick hasn't specified. This will also go on the wall behind the stove and refrigerator.

The living room has been painted eggshell white.

It looks gray to me, but Hick says that's just the lighting. He said the paint covered the old stuff really well.

I keep putting off the master bedroom reveal. There's a reason for that, as you will see. Perhaps tomorrow.
