Pieter Also did Paint Kitchen and Bathrooms
Both of us always have preferred a LIGHT home, as it is a lot more cheerful!
So when we bought our previous home, newly built and us being its first owners, we did not like the dark wood everywhere.
Kitchen cabinets were in a drab and dark wood color...
You notice the Mushroom Family, with baby in the cradle?
Even the bathrooms had such drab looking dark wooden cabinets.
Those solid oak indoor shutters, Pieter installed himself, in the entire house.
Just like we have in our present home, painted white.
We put new wallpaper and painted the cabinets white.
Those sliding and mirrored tub doors, Pieter also installed.
Brother Harry did put in the floor tiles, for both bathrooms while he was here in 1986 for a 'vacation'. He also helped Pieter install a garage door.
We of course, all four of us, did go in–between to Florida!
As well as other trips.

After Painter did a LOUSY Job Husband Pieter Painted our Home
Don't know if it was because we were immigrants, but we sure had a lemon of a painter!
Using thinned paint for the full price...
As you can see in this photo, he did not even bother to take the shutters off the wall, for painting behind them.
Both of us did hate the original color, seen where the shutters were... so drab!
The house we moved in, got newly built but we had had no say in the color.
On June 30, Pieter started with this mega job.
