Many updates

This summer flew on by. Next week is Labor Day weekend already and that means summer comes to an end and school begins. With the changing of the season brings our family more change: a cozier kitchen, two crazy kids & cutting back.

I am sitting here in an empty room at a table. This room is our kitchen and I am admiring my husband as he paints away. Brian and I decided to completely remodel our kitchen with a new look - cabinets, countertops, appliances and floors - the whole enchilada. This week keeps us extremely busy with updates, installs and organizing. It was an impulse decision but we know we are living in our home for a long time so it will be worth it.

My inspiration for the new kitchen is family functional with a large calendar on our wall to showcase our schedules, kids artwork displayed on cork boards and a message that simplies all that our family is about: love. The first thing I put up was a decal on our wall that is the focal point in the kitchen. It's a daily reminder to me to be a great parent and try my best every day.

Since I have a mixture of taste, I wanted a farm/victorian/shabby chic/hamptons type feel and nothing better than looking to Martha Stewart for advice. Did you know she has her own cabinet line? We bought them and they are going to make me want to cook more...or so i tell myself. I am really excited to post pictures soon as they will be installed this week and countertops/floors next week. It's been a fast moving train since we found out they are to be delivered and Brian has been painting like mad. It's our final update to inside our home and it's going to look amazing...
How do we even find time to remodel and create this change? I don't know how we manage but when we start a project, we do it 100%. Check out the pictures of the progress from this weekend:

  1. You could decide which you do not wish to remodel your kitchen countertops, and would rather just focus on a certain component of it, such as your worktops or floor. Or you could go for redecorating the kitchen and see how this looks.
