A journal sharing our renovation projects, faith, ups, downs and anything else we feel like talking about
So we are getting back into the swing of things…post-adoption and boy, are we doing it! Steven has been working hard putting up a new fence and I picked out a few organizational items for the house. Namely, laundry room storage. Steven just this morning put up shelves and a clothes rack! If you want [...]
Besides some trim paint and a pantry addition (hopefully a nice built in pantry), I am almost finished with our Kitchen/Laundry project we started back in November 2010. As you noted from previous posts, it all started with me convincing Steven to lay a new floor. After we pulled the flooring up and found the [...]

Five new lights and a piece of lumber sure can make a gal happy! I have had the ugliest kitchen in the entire world for the last four years. I don’t know what I hated the most…the awful floor, or the bank of cabinets that only collected junk. We started ripping out the kitchen back [...]
So my husband says after a couple hours of hanging drywall. We both abhor hanging sheetrock, mudding and the whole nine yards. Not that it is hard to do, we just don’t like it. You may remember that we closed in the laundry room over the Thanksgiving holiday. The room has not been touched since [...]
If you have been following the kitchen/laundry addition/restoration of butler pantry saga of the last 2 months, you will know that I have wanted to put the butler’s pantry back in its original home since I bought this house four years ago. The butler pantry was hacked (and I mean hacked!) out of the wall [...]
Progress is slow…we have been busy enjoying the holidays. My lights have been installed in the laundry room. I love the simplicity of paper shades and the beautiful way they diffuse the light. Steven also finished the refrigerator alcove and moved the refrigerator. We have karaoked our hearts out. I think we will attempt trying [...]
Oooh…I just found this picture. I like this cabinet color too. I also posted this picture: Here is the kitchen now. Keep in mind the above is an old picture from about 2-3 years ago. I have nixed a lot of the clutter and streamlined what I have on the counters. I want to keep [...]
Ok, I know these pictures are slightly premature, but I am so excited that I have a new floor that I have to share it with the world!!! Gone are the ugly floor tiles that were cracked and crumbling. I am so happy! We still have spacers where the sheetrock will go around the laundry [...]
Its kinda hard to decorate for Christmas when half of your kitchen is in the dining room and the other half is on your back porch. Nevertheless, we are trying to muster up some Christmas spirit in the Warren house. I type this as I hear hammering in the kitchen as the new floor is [...]
Do I see cabinets getting painted in the future of our kitchen? Hmmm……. This is what it looks like presently. After we get our new flooring laid (similar to the floor above), a fresh coat of cabinet paint, new paint on the walls and some new shades…BAM! We are in business. Just don’t tell my [...]
