Misc pictures from the past week

I took the boys to a workshop at Home Depot. They built adorable little crates (pencil holders) for back to school. We went with my brother and his boys. Owen built his entirely on his own in about half the time as everyone else. Here is a cute picture of Wyat.


Owen has been into magic lately and he told us that he wanted to put on a magic show for us. He came out dressed like this for the show. Adorable!


We have two fawns who roam in our backyard occasionally. I love being able to snap pictures of them. I just wish my camera on my phone was better.


And this guy was on our deck the other night. Kris and I watched him for about 20 minutes before he finally figured out how to get off of our deck. He isn't welcome again but it was fun watching him one time!


We have been spending a lot of time this summer at our friends pool. Owen found this froggy and it jumped on his back.

Kitchen......it's DONE!!!!!

This summer has flown by.....probably because we threw a massive project in the mix. We knew from the minute we saw the house that the kitchen needed to be updated. And I've been sucked into the cult of everything will be better if it's gray or a shade of gray so I had originally envisioned a gray island with white wall/upper cabinets.....that was the plan until we realized how time consuming the whole project was turning out to be so we just stuck with the same color throughout. Even the walls are the same color, just a different sheen. Props to my hubby for doing an amazing job and only complaining a little :)

So here are a few before pictures to set the mood! These were taking during our inspection.







Here are the during:









































And after all that mess and time, the afters......






I'm thrilled with the results. The whole project cost around $700 give or take a few dollars. We will be saving for new countertops over the next year or so....and also deciding if we like the island layout....it's so BIG and a little awkward. Just wondering if a better layout would give the house a better flow. But for now I can't stop looking at it!
