Git-R-Done And Some Fun

Happy Friday, Everybody!!

  We finally got snow here (not that I am complaining about all the warm weather we had) but it was so good to see my kids having fun sledding.

Our kitchen is definitely a work in progress and will be for quite some time as we make decisions and refund the budget : )

(Curt, our friend and contractor)

I hate the swirls in the ceilings.  That will have to be taken care of : ) 

Fixing the skylights from the inside.  Cracks and water damage no more.

 Do you see that lovely piece of stainless steel?

 It's my new LG dishwasher! Which we got here at a local store at a discount (love sales).  I am so excited.  It is so quiet.  My other one, I wish I had a picture of it, was so old that it sounded like a train coming through the kitchen...not to mention the front panel came off it too.  One appliance down and three more to go.

Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Ummm..It's Time To Go

Good Morning!

I know you all know that renovations are a tedious process but when it's all complete the joy of accomplishment will be your pride and joy.  I do enjoy seeing the transformation no matter how slow the process.

Here is my kitchen..

 It's a really good size for our family.  I have two skylights which I adore.  

Now this is what I hate about the space

1. The flowery border...seriously!  It makes the height of my ceiling feel a lot lower.

2. The appliances that are old and white.

3.  Faux marble green countertops with the white edging

4. The fan..everytime I open the cabinet it smacks right into it.

5. The knobs that are gold with the center of white

6. The floor..yep, no terra cotta for me and finally...

7. I like color so the white paint has to go to..it doesn't work having kids (for me)

We started getting major leaks around the one skylight over the sink area and one in our family room (I will share the process of getting it fixed in another post).  Since they had to get fixed we are going to paint.  Yippee!!

 Isn't that wallpaper hideous?!

It's starting to feel taller in here already : )

I hope your life is full of wonderful transformations.  Have a great weekend all : )
