The Kitchen... Finally.





So I'm just gonna post pictures. It's pretty self explanatory. I would like to yell a huge thanks to Mom, Gracie, Dad, and Jimmy! (Especially Mom. She did most of the painting while I was at work!) The first few pictures are what the kitchen used to look like. Yikes!!























If you can't tell, due to my horrible photography skills, the kitchen is now a beautiful sage green. :)



And for anyone that didn't know, Michael was out to sea when I did this, which is why he's not in any of the pictures. He was pleasantly surprised when he came home. :)

I'm running out of time

So the kitchen will have to be posted later. Sorry, everyone!

Here's a taste (of what needed to be burned):

Yada Yada Yada

I told everyone that eventually I would get pictures posted. :)
For starters - Our Foyer
Below is the original, awful, contemptable blue.



Round 1:
My first attempt at picking out a decent color plummeted to the ground. Yellow? What on earth was I thinking when I chose this color??? Michael said I picked the color of a school bus because I was deprived as a child.
















Round 2:


Much better, I must say. If you can't tell (due to my poor photographer abilities) the color of the room is now a soft robin's egg blue.





My wonderful husband, who did all of this for me and laughed when he saw the initial color:
For I am in a time of life when things change around me. Everything I own or think I have control over I must lay before my Father's feet: my education, my body, my place of residence, my husband, my children.
