Ok, I know you all thought I fell into the big hole in my kitchen and was lost forever.
And honestly over the last few weeks there were times I thought that sounded-
awesome.
But alas- that big hole was covered up, and here I am back to bloggin!!
Cabinets are here:)
From the best Cabinet Company in all the land if you ask me!!
Hear that horn? That's me, and I'm tootin it.
Denovo Fine Cabinetry is our family biz where we
design, manufacture and install the bestest in custom cabinetry.
Need some? Give 'em a call:)
Aaaanyway, cabinet delivery day is always the day when I get the happiest:)
(insert girly giggle and jazz hands here)
It's when you can finally see some real progress:)
Here's a pic of the new little tiny guest room that is where the old kitchen used to be.
Sooo very sad- the original floors in this house were not able to be salvaged:(
Trust me, this decision was heart wrenching:(
Underneath a layer of cheap oak that was laid in the 80's (I'm assuming),
we discovered a whole lot of patches and areas that were just beyond repair due to several "remodels"
in the past. So we had no choice but to lay all new hardwood flooring.
Just take a look at what that amazing talent of a hubby made out of the
old flooring!! The kitchen hood !!
I know right?? He's just a little bit crafty. Just a little bit:)
Me so happy:)
So that's all I gots for now. More pics next week:)
A huge thank you to my amazing neighbors.
You know, like J.D. who text me that she was heading outta town
and left me a key so I could hang out in her awesome AC when the
temps in my house were upwards of a not so awesome 84 degrees:(
And God bless L.O. who brought me a beautiful bundle of happiness when
she knew I needed something pretty to look at!!
Life just wouldn't be fair if I didn't include a pic of Little Bully:)
Look at that face. His begging eyes went between me and that sweet potato like
he was watching a tennis match. It was hilarious:)
You see, sweet potatoes are the love of LB's life.
The hubby plucked a fresh one from the garden and decided to put it
there on the table to taunt him.....I couldn't take it.
YESSSS!! Of course I gave it to him:)

Dorie, my husband and I are building our dream farmhouse for our family! I LOOOVE your kitchen hood and would LOOOOVE for my husband to try and create one from some barn wood we have around here. My question (okay, his question) how is the hood vented? Through the attic? My hubs is building our house himself and needs to know! ;) Thanks Dorie! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteLové that hood cover.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to do something along this line, but you here inspire the best.
So happy I stumbled across you. Will see you soon
