Home Sweet Little Home: March 2010

>> Wednesday, March 31, 2010

In honor of the nice weather, Alex declares today No Pants Day.

Why not?

I've been pouring on the coal to my kitchen re-do this week. This morning I painted the legs of our little makeshift island green to match my new accent color. I did all of this at 5:30 this morning after Chris left for work. Boy is he in for a surprise when he gets home.

I bet you anything he's going to come home and say, "Has that table always been green?" hehe. I love it.

Kitchen project

>> Monday, March 29, 2010

It seems like I've spent a lot of time in my kitchen the past few days. I've been having fun working on some projects.

I put wainscot up along the walls on Saturday and it was suprisingly easy! Time consuming, but wasn't too bad at all. Thanks to the hubby for helping me with problem areas, including that plug in the middle. It looks so tiny and innocent in the photo, but that plug and I had some go arounds on Saturday.

I tried my hand at sewing yesterday for some new kitchen curtains. I'll have to take a better picture of it all once that's all set.

And my bestest friend Lisa Lu sent me this amazing tablecloth for my birthday! :) Thanks Lisa Lu! It's perfect! Just what the kitchen needed for spring.

And Alex was excited that his team won on Saturday. He fell asleep before he could watch the game, but he was rooting for West Virginia. He wanted them to win not only because it's one of his favorite teams, but it was also his great uncle John's birthday! He lives in West Virginia :)

The big 2-7

>> Tuesday, March 16, 2010

Today I turned 27.

It has been a great couple of days. I've gotten to see a lot of family, eat a lot of cake and get it pointed out to me that 27 is just 72 backwards.

I guess in some weird way that made me feel younger.

And Alex really enjoyed looking at the cake. He wasn't sure why an ice cream cake was on fire, but that's ok. It was pretty anyway.

I guess I've got to look on the bright side. At least I'm not turning 33 this year. Right Jase? hahaa. Love ya.

Kitchen makeover

>> Monday, March 15, 2010

Ahh Spring. There's nothing like weather warming up and snow melting to get those creative juices flowing.

When things begin to get nicer out I can't help but think about all the things I want to do. I want to get outside and clean things up, I want to start sewing new curtains and I want to do something new with my kitchen.

Until things get a little more warmer outside I think I can handle the last two items on my list. So I was browsing the Better Homes and Gardens website and found a kitchen with similar colors to mine.
