So in my last weekly post, I referred to a “low” and all has been resolved with this so I can talk about it now. You know, owning a house is great until you have a major issue occur. Last year we had some drainage issues and we had a roto rooter type company come out and they ended up finding a broken line that goes out to the sewer. Some how they were able to clear it enough where our plumber told us, its good for now. You might be able to have it cleared a time or two…
Christmas Eve day started off uneventful. Rob and Drew were out eating breakfast with Mr. Baird. I got up and ran to the mall for one last gift. It was absolutely monsooning outside. When I got home, I started wrapping presents and cleaning up for company that was coming over the next day. While wrapping presents with door shut in my bedroom, I heard Alex screaming for me to come here. He was down in the playroom. I figured it was a problem with an electronic device or some 1st world problem. However, when I got down there, I saw…
Ok, so here’s my 3rd and final post on my kitchen. Well, at least until we do more renovations. Here’s pics of how the cabinets look now. I’ve also posted my fav nicknacks and pictures from different angles. You can click on the pic to see larger version and most of them have notes to go along with them for more explanation.

Over at Kelly’s Blog she’s doing a weekly post to share different rooms of her house. I know other’s have done the Home Tours post, which I’ve wanted to do. We’ve been in this house 2 years come May 15th and we knew when we bought it there was a lot we wanted to do with the home. It had some updates that we really like and a few additions also. The first thing we knew we would have to conquer was the kitchen. I believe at some point the kitchen was redone, but it’s very 70’s feeling and just…
So the next thing on our to do list for the kitchen was to do something with the GAWD awful cabinets. We have a friend, Tony, that is into woodworking and he agreed to make new doors for out cabinets. To complement this , Gamma Cabinetry does kitchen remodeling. As you can see from the pictures, the actual cabinets are in good shape, but they’re a dark brown. This is the reason why we hire a residential kitchen spray painting to touch up our cabinets, which will complement our kitchen. The doors are particalboard covered in a manilla-colored laminate with…

This is the house that we wanted to buy and the entire reason we put our house on the market. GONE…SOLD! I’ve actually known about this for a couple weeks, but had to get over the devastation before making this public. Life goes on. We’ll continue to pray that ours sells and that we find something else as good. If you’re family, please beware that if you bring this up or anything about selling, you may not get the nicest of responses. You’ve had fair warning. 🙂
