Well, my married life has been very different. Bruce and I lived in 4 houses, 4 towns in 5 years. Each time we bought one, he fixed it up, I decorated it, we got it perfect and then moved on to the next project.
The house we are in now was a different plan. We had a baby and "pick up and go" didn't have quite the fun ring to it, nor did we have the time to invest like before. This house got beat up before us and little by little we have made it our own. Most of the problems here were cosmetic, new paint, carpet, tile...and the whole entire kitchen. Every. Single. Part of it...I seriously don't know what the people were thinking when they built this kitchen. It was not well planned out, but we took our time and finally we had the right ideas and the money to do it. Surprisingly, Bruce and I were able to come to an agreement on everything and he picked the countertop out on his own. What trust I have in that man! I can finally have all my kitchen supplies in the kitchen, not the kitchen, laundry room, pantry and basement... I tried to do before pictures and after of the same angle, but it was a little tough. I'm not bragging, but man, I think were really good at this!
We cut a huge opening in the wall between the kitchen and dining room. I was a little scared, but it has changed EVERYTHING in a great, wonderful, amazing way! (Missing a piece of trim here...Gonna have to talk to Bruce!)
This was the sad kitchen part. A breakfast bar in the middle of the room and too little room on the other side of it for a table??? The next two pictures are of this whole wall.
I hated the cabinet colors and the fact that there were no handles. Everything was yucky and falling apart. I also am just realizing how much crap is all over the counters, the fridge, everywhere!
