Last year we were less than blessed with the trials of raising our nephew, Our home that started to fall apart right before our eyes, the hallway reno catastrophe with sick kiddos, our unexpected week long stay in the hospital, a few other things that I did not blog about… like the flood in our front yard from the water meter, our whole street being torn up for 3 weeks, my diamond fell out of my wedding ring, and the NEVER ENDING sickness that took over our home in 2011.
Did I mention our fridge broke, and so did our washer (we fixed it twice) and the dryer died. Yep, that sums up 2011… I was very eager to wave BUHBYE! Oh and I almost forgot, we added a 14 year old boy into the mix! We love him to pieces, but man what a change having a teenager in the home!
Wow, I'm right there with you about saying adios to 2011 and look forward to 2012. You sure had a lot happening in your world.
Love the ideas photos. I love the Fiestaware when I see it at Macys in all those pretty colors. I also love subway tile and have for years! Some day I want it in my kitchen also.
Thanks for the heads up about the light. I can't believe how inexpensive for such a great look!
Thank you! I love the room so much. Thanks for being such an awesome follower!
Wow! You had an exciting year, huh? I have a 15 yr. old boy, so I know what you mean about teenagers! Hope you can get everything done this year that you want. We have no garage, but your organizing photos make me want to tackle our workspace in the basement! As for hutch colors, I wouldn't be any help, cause I like black! lol. Though white or off-white are also some of my favorites. I have an awful hard time choosing colors, it took me two years to decide on a color for my baseboards – and they're still not finished! Can't wait to see how your kitchen turns out!
Thanks Stacey! It does seem like a lot this year, and funny thing, you have been blogging with me every step of the way! Thanks for the encouraging words!
I'm loving some of those workshop ideas! I'm glad I haven't finished building mine yet because I definitely want to incorporate some of these ideas into it!
