Photo time

I’ve talked enough about the house, and now I finally have some photos to show you. I was hoping to wait until it was all done but decided to at least post a few in the middle of the project. The kitchen is looking better. The paint on the cabinets is finished, the walls [...]

quick update

Just thought you all might like to know that my sink is in and I finally have an operable kitchen.  Hubby’s birthday was yesterday and instead of going out to dinner, a nice home cooked meal awaited him, along with a from scratch cake.  It’s good to have the sink back.  I heart my sink!

Productive day

Today we painted the entire kitchen.  Five doorways, 4 windows and cabinets on both side, made for a difficult cutting in job.  Thankfully I have learned to cut in without taping.  It saves so much time, and I always made a bigger mess with tape.  The stove is plugged in and the refrigerator is in [...]

Interruption

I interrupt this home renovation programming to bring to you a craft.  I saw these online yesterday and the impulse was too great and I had to bring out the jewelry bucket to make these sweet little pendants.

Attach ribbon or silver chain and you have a sweet festive necklace.  All my girls had to have [...]

Quote of the Day

I saw this on someone’s blog and thought I would post it here. Since it is a quote by Mark Twain, I didn’t think it a problem to copy and paste it.
It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want – oh, you don’t quite know [...]
