Kitchen Makeover

A couple months ago, Josh won a $1,000 gift card to the local do-it-yourself store chain.

We've bought a bunch of things so far; some fun, some more necessary. But yesterday we bought something that was fun...I consider it almost necessary. At least Josh was willing to go along with it!

We painted the kitchen!

Here's what it looked like yesterday afternoon.

And this afternoon:

It's a gorgeous rich, warm gray color. We're going to put more pictures on the top of the counter (oh wait! You can't see that! Directly to the right of where the second picture ends is the framed picture of the apples. I'm hoping to put a lot of food-related pictures, or particularly coffee-related pictures, up there over the next several months)

We love it!! We are replacing the knobs (Josh is there now, buying a few more because I'd made a mistake and didn't buy enough yesterday) with brushed silver look instead of dirty-gold.

Isn't it wonderful??

I need new curtains, when money allows. But the store doesn't sell those, so those will have to wait!

...And just because, I got a picture of a project Jasmine did last week. These made me laugh even if it wasn't exactly what I wish she'd be doing with napkins...
