cabinets-flooring-more!
Out of the box! Top it off with BIRCH countertops and wah-lahh! The pulls. The pulls. The pulls!!! I obsessed about these for some time — brushed nickel, oil rubbed bronze, matchy, mismatchy??? Martha Stewart, soft iron. Yes. I love the weight. I had this—”I don’t want my kitchen to look like it is floating [...]

cabinets!
I hear the sound of a dolly rolling. Thud. Heave. Hoe. Door opening and shutting. What shall appear? Oh my!! Oh my! Another Christmas Morning! I refrain from hugging Worker Mark. I want to open the boxes and play all the day long. Or just sit in a chair sipping a mocha and watch this [...]

weekend: painting!
Mr. C contributing to the weekend project. Cutie. Gotta love rolling and painting when the drips and drops can fly in this empty space with plywood floors. As for the wall paint color? That is where I really get all jazzed up—heading to and fro from the paint store with samples and shades. The winner [...]
drywall: all week long.
This week it’s all about the drywall. Monday up. Tuesday through Friday: tape, mud, dry. Tape, mud, dry. Lots of mud. Dry. Now I knew there are layers to this process… but I didn’t calculate the fact that it’s a full week long event. I admit that the mud scent got to me. Puts a [...]
d-r-a-b….to fab!
Toss in the dumpster? I purchased this very creepy-looking light from deep in a garage in Edina 6 years ago, which I believe originally came from IKEA. Attempting to add some light to the sunk-in kitchen room this light has hung for years. I believe it has only further contributed to that sunk-in feeling. I [...]

countertops!
With the back of the van empty we head to IKEA for a nice Sunday’s drive. I have done this so many a time, tooling around all the loveliness * sighing * and * groaning * (in the most innocent sense of the word) at all the tidy kitchens. This time is different. First of [...]

another kitchen perspective.
Here it is in black and white. The kitchen is just taking a little jaunt to the right of the house—here’s the layout of the back wall. The sink finds it’s new home under my previous dining room window. The kind of sink? Oh, just a basic white cast iron apron farmhouse style. Ok. Yea…it [...]

hello! the plan
Still a happy girl!! Yes, I am in the basement a whole lot. And the fridge is up some stairs and around a corner, and the box filled with essentials required to survive this transition somehow got sealed up and went off with the POD. But lets keep in mind that I am so on [...]
