Our "new" home

Our family finally has a home again! We were so excited...no, excited is not the word...hmmmm...extatic is more like it...to get into a home again. We had wanted to build again, but building loans are next to impossible to get right now. So, we settled for a home with potential:) Actually, I love redo-ing. I love getting to paint and pick new flooring and cabinets and lights and faucets:) So, this 1970's vintage home is quickly getting updated. It does take time, but now that my kitchen is in, I am a happier camper. We got some BEAUTIMOUS cabinets from Huntwood cabinets. MMMmmm...I went with the dark red with black antique glaze.
cabinets
granite
custom granite...This guy did a great job! I love the high backsplashes...even behind the stove.
faucet
tile
This is our tiling. I am not done yet, though. It is going in the bathroom and hallway, too. I like to have as much non-carpet surface from entries to bathrooms.
Very exciting! I am sure it will take 5 years to get the house the way we want it. BUT, it took that long last time, too, so...Time to get the outdoors buttoned up for winter.

Looks so great! I agree... it's weird to move into someone's house... the first thing we did here was rip out all the flooring. I couldn't stand the thought of my baby's little knees in someone else's... toe jam? BLECH!

About Me

My photo
I am a mom to three wonderful boys. My DH worked hard to allow me to stay home and raise these lil' guys for almost 11 years. I am now working at a local hospital as an inpatient pharmacy technician. This is a new adventure for me. I hope I can balance everything out. In my "spare" time, I love to scrapbook the memories we are making.
