Yup, that's right! Those kitchen cabinets are painted!
Our little big weekend project is complete! We have been debating on how we are going to re-do our kitchen! Of course we purchased this house because we didn't have to re-do anything...but my husband married a "home improvement" fanatic! We have been debating on having someone re- stain the cabinets, or replace the cabinets, or doing them ourselves. We of course chose the "DIY" option. Our first step to our kitchen flip was to get rid of those maple cabinets! We purchased the "cabinet transformations" kit for $120 and started painting! Now we  need to splurge on...floors, counters, appliances etc.

Bathroom Before & After


One work free weekend  my husband and I decided  it would be the perfect time to re-do our downstairs powder room! We headed to Lowe's and got our supplies and we he started working! We replaced the wood floors with stone, placed stone and decorative pieces up the wall and replaced the shiny silver fixtures with bronze colored fixtures! It still needs decor but the bones of the room are com

Some Hallway Decor

I am so excited for the new addition to our Master! I found a DIY tutorial on http://meohmymama.blogspot.com/ and made some wood stained art! I wanted it to be something meaningful so I used the lyrics to Amazed by Lonestar because I walked down the aisle to it on our wedding day! I came home from work the other day and my wonderful husband had placed it so beautifully in our hallway!

Master Bedroom

Our Master bedroom is one of our many works in progress. We are inching away at each space in our home! Since purchasing our home we have painted this room, "oatmeal", hung some curtains, and painted our bathroom vanity. I have yet to add any color or too much decor, but I hope to soon!

Laundry Rooms Addition

When we were buying our home so many "extra" expenses came up. One of the things we did to save money was purchase the previous owners washer & dryer. Since we moved in a year ago we have been dealing with an insufficient washing machine (a nice way to put it). This thing does not clean anything! If we wanted clean sheets, I would bring them to my Mom's house to wash them. That is until last weekend when we purchased the new LG wave-force top loading washing machine! It was delivered on Thursday and since then all the clothes, bedding, pillows, blankets, etc. are shiny clean in this household!

We purchased it from Home Depot after researching other stores. We managed to get 10% off, a credit, free delivery, set-up and haul-away and I couldn't be happier...so far!
