Anyway... been working slowly on the kitchen. I put up all but one panel of the beadboard and am waiting on an order of trim to come in so I can finish putting that up. I will then apply some stain to the beadboard and trim and after a couple days I will begin painting. I'm going to visit a glass company this week and order some glass panels for a few of my cabinet doors - fairly inexpensive so I've heard. I'm experimenting with some additional trim ideas and now exploring the idea of creating a wall oven. Yes, this project is getting a bit out there but I'm still extremely budget conscious. However, I'm also into improving the value of our home.
Today the carpets got cleaned - YEAH! Have to say, they were bad but not that bad seeing as we've never had them professionally cleaned since we moved in 5 years ago!
Oh yeah and did I mention the thing about a deck? Can't remember what I posted before - it's been so long. We are putting on very nice deck and outside entertainment area. We were going to do it in phases but our phases have started merging together - lol - that's dh's doing. I'm not arguing mind you. He has to come up with the money or financing, I do the designing. Turns out we are doing the deck with pergola (large and small) and a patio with firepit. That was supposed to be three phases - merged into one. Next phase will be where we build a grill area and landscape. They should be starting in a week - I can't wait! Although I'm still tweaking the design so additional time is fine with me.
The boys are doing good but seriously questioning what the heck we are doing. When we moved home we only thought we were going to be in this house for five years. Turns out we are staying here longer then originally planned. We LOVE our neighbors, the boys LOVE their school and friends... not ready to give that stuff up so we are deciding to make out house the way we really wanted it originally. We are done spending all of our time on our business, we are ready to enjoy spending time with our friends and family. I want to start cooking. I want to relax. DH needs to relax...
Got to go.....
