Walls are up

In my last post I mentioned that I got the rest of the interior walls up. The kitchen is walled in and so is the bathroom. Here you can see the Kitchen glued and taped to dry. And here the kitchen is with the wallpaper up. I really like how it turned out. It was a little awkward to paper because of the back of the stairs sticking into the room but I am impressed with how well it went together.....I usually make a mess of tricky stuff like that. The walls for the bathroom are up and I wallpapered the other side of the walls (the bedroom) before I installed the walls. It was a mistake because I made a large boo boo with the wallpaper as you can see in the second picture below. I'm going to put some corner moulding on that edge to make it look nicer.

eBay Find

I was on eBay earlier this evening and saw this nice kitchen cabinet. The description actually said: Kitchen & Dining Room Chinese Vintage Oriental Cabinet. I'm not sure I see how it is Oriental, but I thought it was super cute. There was only 1 bid on it, and it was sitting at $ 0.98 and was ending in an hour. I was quick to bid......I put my maximum bid at $2.00 fully anticipating that I would be outbid, but surprisingly I was the highest bidder at $1.03
It wasn't until after I placed my bid that I thought to look at the shipping cost....haha....probably should have done that prior to bidding. It turns out that this item is coming from Hong Kong, and shipping is $12.99 ......wow, wasn't anticipating that.....but what is done is done.

The hour passed and I had forgotten all about it......but saw my eBay tab still open. There it was....YOU WON THIS AUCTION

So, for $14 I have this very cute cabinet coming my way. I'm thinking that if it fits in my new house, I will paint it white and add a sink. Sometimes you find great deals on eBay but man that shipping......
