I love the longer hair, it's so cute!
In other news....my kitchen is in full renovation mode! It's unbelievable! Kristen came over last night and we took down the big obstructing cabinets and started spackling. I was asleep by midnight after 5 hours of straight work and slept like a baby.
Mary & Howard The Handy came over today and we got so much done. I should say Mary and Howard got a lot done, I'm sort of being schooled on this subject of home repair and painting. I'm learning a lot by watching and doing. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the cabinets out of the kitchen, it's astonishing how much it opens up the space, it's like a whole new room. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the paint we choose, it's so pretty. I am overly fond of green, I can't help it. Green is alive, it speaks to me. It makes me happy and it just feels like a good color for almost anything. So, there is lots of spackling, drilling, sanding, sweeping, more sanding and more spackling going on. Howard thought we'd have the kitchen ready for painting after tomorrow. WOW! It's so gorgeous, already....I'm thrilled.
Howard also capped of the sprinkler system once and for all and we hsouldn't have to worry about it for a while now. Thank goodness.
I have to tell you, I am exhuasted. This is hard work! Mostly I think I'm tired from last night, taking those cabinets down wasn't easy....but it wasn't rocket science either. Kristen saved me. Mary and Howard are saving me. It's so much fun to do these projects with my family, it feels like everyone is chipping into to help me make my home my own and that feels really good.
YAY ME!
I'll probably be piddling the rest of the day, just took a long nap and am doing laundry. Have some more sanding to do, but that's about it for today. Tomorrow, we'll finish up the prep work and be good to go! WOOP WOOP!
