I know it’s been a week since I last wrote you all a note on my little blog here and I’m so sorry in my delay in posting! I’ve just been so incredibly busy the past week. Ryan has started doing flooring on the side again, and I’ve been going with him to help. I basically am his go-fer at the job site – getting him tools, running errands, tacking down tack strip and pad, etc. It’s nice to be able to help him since he’s so good about helping me, and he’s really good at it – so it’s fun to watch. 🙂

With the warmer weather, we’ve also started working on some projects around the house again. We’ve finally finished up our bathroom. We decided to start working on our kitchen and basement too. So we have now sanded, primed, and painted one entire section of our kitchen cabinets to brighten things up a bit. We also spray painted all our hardware, which is awesome because it’s saving us around $100. So here’s a peek at the color the cabinets will be:

I’m really excited about redoing the kitchen. It’s so dark and dreary and just not us. So with a fresh coat of paint, maybe a new counter top and definitely new floors down the road – in time it may look something like this:

The basement is probably going to be a little slower project. See – we live in an old house – 1920s & we live out in the country. So we’ve got a sump pump in our basement and when the water tables get really high we get water in our basement. Not much – just enough to be annoying. Well we’ve found something we think might eliminate the problem. So we’re going to clean up the basement and seal all the cracks down there. Ryan’s end goal is to turn the basement into a man cave with a bar, dart board, and entertainment area. Honestly I’m excited about it from the stand point that it’s sure to increase the resale value of our home since it’s nothing more than a storage/work space right now.

Between all the projects and getting things in order for senior & wedding season – I’ve just been crazy busy. Check back Friday though because I should have some updates by then. Happy Wednesday!
