This one has so many issues.  Every time we turn around we find something else we need to do.  How bout we start with the basic first!

We painted all the main walls, except the kitchen, Cheery.  It is kind of like a watermellon color.  It doesn’t sound that great, but it is really pretty.  The wood panels were stained a deep cherry color.  The kitchen and dinette walls were painted Cinnamon Cocoa, which coordinates with the Cheery.  All the trim is the same Moonrise White.  The bathroom we painted Arabian Sands..

We have painted the baseboards three different colors now, all look terrible.  We have now decided to paint them the same color as the bathroom. 

The kitchen cabinets are a complete mess.  We have painted them two different colors and they both look bad.  They just need to be replaced, bottom line.  That will have to be done down the line though.  The carpet is being ripped out and replaced with some other carpet we received (for free).  We decided not to put in good flooring since we will be tearing the kitchen apart and redoing it top to bottom eventually.  Why spend the money on a good floor just to tear it out again?! 

Skeeter ripped out all the carpeting in the main house so we are down to the tile underneath, which actually looks new.  We will buff it out and finish the edges and go from there.  Makes the whole place look much better.

  We’ll rehang the curtains since they are in good shape.  I made tab curtains, yes, the same pattern as everywhere else…the only kind I know how to make!  They have the three colors from the main house’s main walls, bathroom, and kitchen/dinette.  Again, Hawaiian-style. 

We are very close to getting it livable so we’ll post more as we complete more.

Well, the studio is taking a lot longer than we expected.  We put two coats of Honeydew (a lime greenish color) on all the walls and the same Moonrise White on all the trim.  The wood is going to be covered with a clear coat only. 

We ripped everything out of the “wash room”, except the toilet.  It is pretty barren looking.  At least it will be ready to put in a real bathroom.  Afterwards we painted it the same combination as the rest of the Studio.

I made more tab curtains out of a Hawaiian-style print with the Honeydew color and other greens with white.  It will be very cute looking once it is all put together.

We ripped the carpet out and are planning on tiling it ourselves, so that should be interesting. 

Right now it is sitting waiting for more supplies and our time to do the work.  More updates to come.

The Ohana is virtually complete.  There are a few minor items that need to be completed, but they will have to wait until the other projects are done first.  The paneling was painted Moon Rise white, a very bright white; the cement blocks were painted Instant Delight, close to a marigold-type color; the trim was painted Mango Madness; the tab curtains have those three colors mixed together-Hawaiian-style.  It all turned out very well.  Looks very bright and cheery.  Very cute for a 393 square foot Ohana.
