Dull & Blah TO Light & Bright

Over the Thanksgiving Break... Jessica has been busy painting. The picture on the bottom left is what the kitchen use to look like. The picture on the bottom right is what it is becoming. The picture on top... is a recent view of the near finished product. Ahh how paint can change the feel of a room. It is totally breathtaking. We will be replacing the light fixture next in this room.

From Drab to Fab!

Well the kitchen cabnits are close to finished. They went from drab 80's cabnits, to more modern and sheek cabnits... with a little paint and new hardware. Soon they will be hung and ready to be used. We are ordering new drawer pulls for the rest of the cabnits.

This picture does not do them justice... but trust me they look so much better!!

Back Yard Before and After

We did alot of riping out shrubs around the back deck. There are piles of wood in the back yard which we will have to haul away. But we are slowly cleaning up the yard.

Outside Before and After

The Wood Planter Box on the front porch is the next to go. We felt the two trees that we took out in front of the house were hiding the house. We also riped out a shrub that had over grown. While we were cleaning out the front yard... we found 8 baseballs, 3 footballs, a knife a pie tin and a water bottle. Lots of garbage hiding under the shrubs and ground covering.

The Kitchen In Process....

I have spent the day painting the outsides of the cabnits black.

Hopefully I will have the kitchen cabnits finished by this upcoming Sunday.

All "PAWS" for Renovation

Remy and Oreo are always wanting to be part of the action. Most of the time they are everything but helpful. They are awfully cute, but not very helpful when painting. Remy has run his little paws in the paint several times, while Oreo has come close.

Yard Work Begins!

It's Chain Saw Time!! Out with the old shrubs and trees that were growning into the house. We have riped out many over grown shrubs around the house. It will take many trips to the dump to get rid of debrie.
