finally here

this next sentence has been a long time coming. our kitchen is finally complete! well. almost. we still need a light above the sink, but other than that, we can check this project off our never-ending list! this before and after picture just makes me so happy. i've been picturing this comparison in my head since we started this kitchen endeavor in 2007.

before: march 2004, the day i peeked in this house for the very first time (say hi to our realtor, robert!).

after: march 2011, 7 years later. our cottage kitchen! finally!

and Lord willing, before too long, "our kitchen" will become someone else's kitchen. that's right... our house is officially for sale! we'll see how long i can do this make-sure-everything-is-absolutely-spotless-before-walking-out-the-door thing. it is so the opposite of how i operate. i told my mom the other day that this may be the best thing for our family. i have to keep everything picked up. maybe...just maybe this will have lasting effects.

stop laughing, mom.

if you know of anyone looking for a cute 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with lots of updates, send them our way!

Your kitchen is beautiful! We can never sell our house, because I couldn't keep it picked up!

Hi, I just wanted to drop by and comment to thank you for your helpful comment on my blog (my two happy homeschoolers). You mentioned that you use KQ catechism at your church and about the ask me whoo CDs. I really have my heart set on the KQ curriculum for my littles, I would love to instill that knowledge of the faith in them from such a young age. Thank you again for the comment, I had not heard of the book you mentioned or the CD, which look great. I would have emailed this to you, but your email is not enabled in your profile. Sorry the comment is way off topic! :)
