It still feels the same.

It's been 4 years, but it still feels like yesterday... only worse this year.
I knew it would.

Ok, I finished the trim

in the front entryway and the hall. After I clean up, I'll take some pictures and post them for you.
I'm hoping to do the glaze on the cabinets tomorrow.

We interrupt this makeover...

to bring you CRAPPY weather!!!
The temperature has been in the mid to upper 70's the past few days with tons of humidity. I can't paint or do the glazing with the humidity so high. Some storms blew in this afternoon and brought in a cold front, so hopefully I'll be able to get my project completed by the weekend so hang in there.

~til next time!

Here are some before pictures...

The 'orange' wall is what I've always hated. I tried for a terracotta color but was too lazy to prime and do more than one coat. I've gotten used to it, but never loved it. I jokingly called it "ADD on the walls!"










Check out the cabinets and walls in the background.



I thought I had more pictures of my kitchen, but I can't find them. So those of you who have been to the house, will just have to remember them from before.

Hopefully, I'll have the completed look up here soon!

Not just an update...

I realize that my blog posts have been less than stellar lately. Sorry about that. I was reading a friends blog today and she posted all this great love stuff about her hubby and it dawned on me that it has been awhile since I've done anything super-wonderful for my husband... and since he's an occasional reader of my rantings and ravings, I figured I'd let the world know what a FANTASTIC husband he is.
I don't have a set number of things that I'm gonna list, but I'll number them anyway.

1. He not only tolerates me, but he puts up with me and loves me anyway! (now THAT is a good man!)

2. He's totally willing to jump in and do something for anyone in need.

3. He's not afraid and doesn't complain about changing diapers.

4. He let's me be me and doesn't try to change me.

5. He tells me that he loves me everytime we are on the phone. Even if its 20 times in one day!

6. He hugs me, even if I think I'm 'busy'. There is ALWAYS time for hugs.

7. He makes me laugh... even at stupid things.

8. He patiently teaches me, even when I am not patient.

9. He spoils me.

10. He takes care of me when I don't feel well.

11. He loves me with a tender heart.

I've got to end this post now b/c Sydney is stirring, but I thought it was interesting that I had to stop at #11 and next month we will be celebrating our 11 yr wedding anniversary!

C, I love you more than anything!!!!



~til next time, readers!
