a New Kitchen! {Angie-this one's for you!}


For those of you marveling at my blaring inability to update my blog more than twice a year {that is if there's anyone out there who still bothers to check my blog}, here is my only explanation... I recently renovated my kitchen cupboards {keyword being I} and it totally took over my life. Well, actually it wasn't all me. I couldn't have done it without my amazing father-in-law helping me build and install some new shelves {which was my favorite part}. It was so fun learning how to build a few things with some power tools. Thanks Dee! And of course, thanks to Grandma for watching the kids so it didn't take me even longer! I tend to be a little "project-obsessed" and am usually trying to cram way more projects into my life than can actually fit with me still sleeping at night.{I'm pretty sure this is a genetic problem because it seems to run in my family.} I've been wanting to refinish our cabinets since we moved in 4 years ago, but for some reason I woke up one day in September and decided "today is the day!". And once I got that idea in my head there was no stopping me. So my poor husband and children had to endure a long while of dust, searching the basement for a cup or plate , pizza every night, a house of chaos, and a moody and very sleep-deprived wife and mom. Was it worth it? I haven't decided yet. But now that all that's behind us, I think we all love our new yellow kitchen. And anyone who doesn't will pretend to love it anyway to avoid my wrath.

What an awesome kitchen. It looks like a whole new house now. Corie your talents are truly amazing. The new nobs really accent the kitchen.

That looks so great Corie! I didn't realize you had done that. I haven't been there in a while.
