How I am avoiding a stressful Christmas this year…
I know…it is only September…but I already have half of my Christmas shopping DONE! The motive for starting so early? I’m tired of stressing out during the holidays!

Kitchen Makeover: Backsplash, Shelving and More Painting!
Now for the pictures that you have been WaiTinG for! As I worked on painting the cabinets, I also added open shelving. Check it out!

Are You Prayin’ About It?
Last night I was lying in bed thinking about a couple of things.

Kitchen Makeover: Painting!
Now for the fun stuff!! I painted the lower cabinets “Mourning Dove” by Martha Stewart. I had it mixed at Sherwin Williams, and since it is a discontinued color, just ask them and they can find the formula and mix it up for you!

Kitchen Makeover: Tearing Out MORE Soffit
Last week I shared with you how I tore out the soffit and raised the cabinets on one side of the kitchen. Was Doug surprised when he came home?! To be honest, he wasn’t as ShOcKeD as I anticipated. In his defense, it is a “norm” for me to take on projects, and for some reason IContinue reading “Kitchen Makeover: Tearing Out MORE Soffit”
