Kitchen Reveal
Ah, so glad to have our kitchen complete. It’s been a long three months after we came home to the kitchen disaster following our Christmas vacation. Just to remind everyone, we came home from California in early January to a flooded kitchen due to a faulty...
White Subway back splash
I keep saying our kitchen is almost done, but it’s finally true. The one last step was to install a white subway tile back splash. First off, our new sink. It’s the same as the old one, but shiny and new. The lip of the old sink was warped slightly when it...
Peacock Wreath

New kitchen counters
Our new kitchen counters arrived this week. It’s no surprise I ordered the exact same ones I had before since it took so long to pick them out the first time. Did I mention the old counters were damaged when they were left on the front porch and then...
