TEEN Mom Kailyn Lowry showcased new photos of her Delaware dream mansion’s kitchen to her Instagram followers.
But the dream is becoming more of a nightmare, as the 29-year-old’s move-in date was apparently delayed yet again, and she recently said she “hates” building it.
Kailyn posted new kitchen photos to her Instagram Story on Wednesday that painted the reality star as optimistic.
In the first post, the Teen Mom 2 star wrote “Before,” alongside her white kitchen cabinets, tagging a local cabinet company.
She then added photos showing that the kitchen island was being painted black.
“It’s going to look so good with gold hardware on the appliances,” she captioned a video, then panning down to her son Lincoln, seven, whom she shares with ex-husband Javi Marroquin.
“It’s the little things,” she concluded in a final Instagram Story, filming a row of black hooks secured on white built-in cubbies.
But the plucky progress pictures were a stark contrast to her earlier statements about the apparently difficult endeavor.
JANUARY? FEBRUARY?
Kailyn has been undergoing construction on her new home for months, and she confessed on a recent episode of her podcast Baby Mamas No Drama that she can’t wait for it to be over.
“I thought I was really gonna love like the house stuff, so I was kind of living like vicariously through you guys like doing real estate and like flipping and stuff,” she told co-host Vee Rivera, who has several real estate projects of her own in the works.
“I hate it,” Kailyn then revealed. “I love HGTV and I love watching people do it online and stuff so I thought because of that interest that I was gonna like doing it myself but I hate it.”
On a different episode of her Coffee Convos podcast, Kail revealed to co-host Lindsie Chrisley that she’s “not excited” to move in to the home she’ll share with her four sons and that the move-in date is unclear.
She said: “My house is supposed to be done in three weeks and I promise you it won’t be done until probably January or February at this point.
“I’m not excited anymore. I’m very not excited.”
BLACK PAINT BACKLASH
Not everyone has been loving Kailyn’s design choices, or her seemingly regular use of black paint.
Back in November, the Pennsylvania native was trolled for painting her ceilings black.
After sharing a glimpse at one of the rooms in her home to Instagram, she wrote that she was “waiting for them to paint” it black.
The post included a poll asking if fans would paint their own ceilings black, but the majority of respondents answered “no.”
Kailyn’s post made its way onto Reddit, where she was further criticized for her choice. The original poster wrote: “Is she serious? A black ceiling on a house she wants to sell in a few years.”
Fans also didn’t take a shine to Kailyn’s recent lighting purchases.
Kailyn similarly showed off photos of new angular gold light fixtures with many sized bulbs to Instagram, and fans rushed to Reddit with dimming words.
That thread was titled, “Kail’s light fixtures for her new house. So tacky.”
Kailyn shares Isaac, 11, with ex Jo Rivera, Lincoln, seven, with ex-husband Javi and Lux, four, and Creed, one, with ex Chris Lopez.
