Painted kitchen

I have been wanting to paint this wall in my kitchen for awhile. It is a it odd with the vent in the middle. Also the wood around the window wasn't too pretty so I painted it too. Around the window is navy and the wall is the same color I used on the little chest of drawers ( in another post). I love the was the wall has a lot of texture that shows when you put color on it. I have the green light to paint the master bedroom too. Everyone liked the kitchen so I am all excited to start elsewhere. The kitchen now needs some new curtains but I think I will wait until this summer and get some in the states.

A new machine and a bit of woman power!

Well, my 15 year old washing machine konked out and like a big girl I went on the Internet and ordered another one on a discount site. I got the same brand so the same maintenance  man could come fix it if the need arises. But this time I got one that has a really big capacity ( 8 kilos).  When I ordered I was able to pay for the installation of the new machine and hauling away of the old one. Well, I was feeling very happy since is was all so easy.  Then they called to say that they didn't have any one in my area to install the machine, so they refunded the money and I was stuck with looking for a way to get it installed.  The problem around here is that most people who do that kind of thing also sell machines too. So I felt a bit strange calling to say I just needed an installation and to get rid of the old machine. Pierre told me it was going to cost me a fortune and that I would have a hard time finding someone. Well after I lost a bit of sleep on that I said my rosary asking for help and decided to ask my father in law to do it. We also have a dump here in the village that we can bring the old machine for recycling. Everything was set, then my father in law called and said he was sick. So they delivered that machine, I read the installation manual and hooked that thing up all by myself!  Marc- Antoine was here and he helped move the machines around with a dolly.  So far there is no water squirting everywhere....
