And here's what our kitchen looks like now!!
The total cost of my redo was about $20. I spent ~$10 on a 5 gallon bucket of joint compound, and then bought two gallon cans of "oops" paint for $5 each at Home Depot.

Abandoned Mansion Part 1 and 2
This mansion needs to be sold cheep to a helpful organization. Now just think about how this mansion could be sectioned off to fit many needy families for a short period of time. They surely wouldn’t feel crowded being in that humongous kitchen together right?

Bellevoir means "Beautiful View" and was given the name by Hamilton Ormsby and his wife Edmonia Taylor Ormbsy (cousin of President Zachary Taylor). He had inherited the estate from his father Judge Stephen Ormbsby. The estate was famous throughout the 19th century for its dairy cattle and trotting horses and included its own railroad terminal, Ormsby Station.

Mary-Kate Olsen is caught up in a financial battle with her former landlord, who accuses the actress of trashing the Hollywood pad she rented from him.
The 22 year old allegedly broke an agreement to refit the $15,000-a-month house near Sunset Boulevard before she moved out in April, after customising the kitchen to suit her needs.
She is also accused of flooding a garden pond.

Although one can certainly turn their not-so-green kitchen into an eco-friendly one via renovation, that is not always an option for the majority of people. So, what easy, inexpensive or free things can you do to make your kitchen more eco-friendly? Here's my short-list of what you can do to immediately see a difference and make a change:
1) Use biodegradable or compost-able kitchen bags - see the example of one of the many brands out there, in the list at the bottom.

Toronto's teeniest house back on the market
Tue Dec 18, 2007 5:29pm EST

TORONTO (Reuters Life!) - To exit through the back door of Toronto's "smallest house," first fold the Murphy bed back into the wall; it takes up the entire seven-foot width of the bedroom.
Built in 1912, the pint-size "Little House" features one bedroom, a kitchen with folding table and chairs, a living room and a full, if narrow, bathroom.

Since I started posting the before and afters of our most recent patio & garden project a few people have asked about the interior of our house. My answer to that is that it is "a work in progress" and it is [pretty much] in a constant state of evolution.
The house itself is a rather large Cape Cod style, brick structure with wood trim.

Delphine Macarty was born circa 1775 to Barthelmy Louis Macarty and Vevue Lecomte, prominent members of the New Orleans community. It is said that Delphine's mother and brother were killed in a slave uprising. Delphine Macarty's cousin, Auguste Macarty was elected mayor of New Orleans in 1815, which possibly helped elevate Delphine's eventual rise to prominence in the New Orleans community.

This is an "uncensored photo" of my kitchen wall (15' x 8') that I'd love to have redone with the Turquoise/Gold Ribbed Ferm wallpaper. I use the term "uncensored photo" just as a disclaimer for the mess, since my home is quite cluttered and in need of much repair. I feel like my kitchen is very outdated, and the stains, dents, and tears on the walls as it is now are quite unattractive and could benefit much from the selected simple, subtle, yet also bright print that I selected.
