It may sound silly, but many times it's the little things that bring me the most joy. As many of you know, we have been remodeling our home. The biggest project we took on this year was the kitchen. We gutted it completely, put in new cabinets, counter tops, appliances, etc. It has truly been a year long project. We even washed dishes in our bathtub for a few months! The majority of the kitchen has been completed for a while now, but we were lacking a back splash. We have been staring at sheet rock and old glue residue for almost a year. We finally had our wonderful handyman (tile is one of the few things we bring someone in to do for us) install our back splash and it looks so great! The funny thing is, now that we have it installed...we both agree that we need to change the paint color...it's definitely a work in progress. Here are some pics...if you check out our blog entries from earlier in the summer, you will see some great before pictures...we have come such a long way!
An additional bonus came from my sweet husband's efforts yesterday afternoon. He surprised me by installing the overhead lighting for the kitchen and hall areas. THANK YOU SO MUCH SWEETHEART!!!

The house is looking great! Your efforts are really paying off.
Your backsplash looks great! Enjoy your beautiful new kitchen.
It looks great! It's so nice to finally see a project completed. When we painted four years ago we didn't finish the closet doors until just before Christmas--they had all been removed and set aside in the garage awaiting our attention. This year our project is repairing the small holes and dents that are inevitable in a house with six children. The spackle is in place but we haven't gotten around to re-painting yet. But Christmas is almost here and that brings in-laws, so we have motivation.
Keep up the great work!
