A Few Project Pics

Hey, party people. It's been a while. We have been a busy two, remodeling our kitchen (on the cheap), getting ready for winter, and generally loving life.

I am teaching the analytical writing class for JSD. It is one of my duties as District Writing Specialist, and it is a good thing, but VERY overwhelming. School in general is wearing me out. It's brutal. A lot of extra duty to keep me hopping. Hence the lack of posts, even though life is moving forward and there would be fun things to post about.

Our kitchen cabinets have been refinished, painted and "aged." We added oil-rubbed bronze hardware and Blaine and I are both very happy with how it turned out. Lovely. It evens makes the yellow counter look more friendly.

It feels like I can actually move into my kitchen, which is pretty amazing. We are still deciding on open shelving or no, and currently just doing without a place to keep our glasses.

Blaine also installed a new kitchen sink and faucet, which makes all the difference in the world. It has two lovely basins, one of them a small fruit sink and one of them an oversized bowl. I can fit an entire cookie sheet in the bottom of that fella. Be jealous! I am still talking my husband into adding the hardware to those two fake drawers beneath the sink. He should, huh? :)

We also painted our front door blue, which I adore. It was in pretty rough shape, so we figured that we couldn't really do anything to hurt it. Do you want to know a secret? Green has always been my favorite color, but now I find myself looking everywhere to find the color of my husband's eyes. So, blue door. I am ridiculous.
