Before and After

I told you it was coming :)
I know you didn't believe me, and the fact that I'm following though on two blogging promises in one week, I hope you all don't fall over faint.

We redid the whole kitchen from top to bottom. We kept the appliances, but added a dishwasher, a working dishwasher! Which is important because we had a dishwasher in our last house and the not cleaning part of it kinda sucked.


There was so much wrong with this kitchen, so lets start with the wall color shall we. Navy Blue or could have been midnight blue but lets not split hairs it was dark, horribly painted and DARK and HORRIBLY PAINTED. I believe I sent out some venting texts as I went, but after the 4th coat we now have a nicely painted kitchen. The kitchen cabinets were had been repainted brown and you guessed it DARK BLUE! I didn't have to repaint these as we just put new to us ones in so other then the thoughts of why someone would do this it wasn't too bad. After painting, new to us cabinets, lots of tiling and some new lighting I'm very happy with the results.

Halloween

This year was the first Halloween without my sister, we have spent every Halloween since the kids were born. We really missed Auntie Nikki and Mr Chris.
We invited Lexi over to soften the blow :) and all four kids had a blast!
The kids had fun picking out their costumes this year. Although it would have been more fun to make them like last year, time did not permit this year.

I would like to introduce you too....
