Hello to having my someday kitchen very close to being ready to use!!
I’ve been going back and forth between being jumping-up-and-down-excited and trying to just be-calm-and-carry-on.
The tile guy came the end of last week and is very close to having my backsplash finished. Then we need to put the microwave and range in place and as far as I’m concerned, it is ready to use! 🙂 We still have trim that needs done and need another light and some other little details. Projects don’t like to come to an end I’ve decided.
I’m very happy that we’re getting so close. I really need to dig out pictures of my old kitchen in my old farmhouse, so you can really, really understand. Our old farmhouse and old kitchen worked-they did-and they’re much more than many people have. But I am truly grateful for a much nicer house. We all are.
Notice the window needs some attention in the form of trim. 🙂
My old kitchen had old, metal cupboards for the lower cabinets and wooden ones for the top. The lower ones were so old that the corner cupboard was just wasted, empty space. No lazy susan. No shelves. Nothing. Needless to say, I’m pretty happy to have beautiful lazy susan corner cupboards in my new kitchen. And they’re not metal.
Obviously this kitchen thing was the highlight of last week for me. But here are some more hellos!
Hello to moving hay! Hello to going to Grandmas! Hello to cuddling baby! Hello to my man fixing my broken door handle on my Suburban! Hello to me being stuck on Corn Chip Salad! Hello to a great giveaway coming up that you won’t want to miss! Hello Rice Krispy Squares! Hello Black Bean Soup! Hello to life!
Hello wisdom teeth coming out for my husband! Another highlight of the week, just in quite a different way. Not such an exciting thing, but very nice to have it over. And very blessed that it went well and he hasn’t felt too terribly bad. Another week coming on!
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

I’m sure there will be a fair share of flops that come out of this kitchen. {Speaking from past experience. A-hem.}

I really, really understand your excitement over that gorgeous kitchen!!! I’m drooling over all those drawers I see. The tile looks so pretty. Just can’t wait to actually touch the smooth finish of the cabinets, sit at the island, help fix a meal, even help clean up after a meal. Praising God for blessing you so much.

I can’t wait for you to come visit! And I thank God very much for blessing me with a so-much-nicer kitchen.

I will enjoy it. So sorry…don’t mean to make you green. I don’t know what your kitchen is like, but I do know what it’s like to have an old, not-so-handy kitchen. 🙂

our corner cabinets are wasted space…no lazy Susan…maybe one day. Love the tiled backsplash!

I so totally understand the wasted corner spaces!!!
I love my backsplash too…I just love my so much nicer kitchen than our old, old farmhouse. 🙂
