So sorry chumps about the previous pity party post on my b-day. i ended up having a refreshing and reflective day with my family. early that day i was out running errands and came home to a special gift left on my doorstep. it was this bracelet from one of my most unconditonally loving friends. i immediately slipped it on my wrist and was so grateful for the reminder that I am a beloved, chosen child of the KING!
My b-day gift from my handy hubby was a gift certificate from him for a complete overhaul of my home office! i am so excited! in fact, i am typing this from my temporary set-up on our dining room table facing a complete mess of a project in the adjoining room but it will be so worth it in the end. i'll be sure to post pics of the before/after.
I don't have much time tonight but I wanted to show you some pictures of a kitchen transformation that we've been working on. unfortunately, Lisa (a "Room for Change Chump") and I forgot to take pictures of the room in all it's natural maple glory. for all you "oak" fans out there...i'm taking a break from picking on you and for this particular project, we painted over MAPLE- and I don't even feel bad about it!
another shout-out to Dave Williams-painter extraordinaire for a great job on walls and cupboards!
Here's the end result:
New appliances, hardware, granite countertops, sink, faucet, paint colors, bar stool fabric and accessories=brand new kitchen!
we freshened up the paint colors in the great room and the foyer/stairwell. really, the whole main floor feels brand new now.
Thanks for putting up with my slightly bi-polar personality this week. I will leave with you a quote from another birthday gift I received from a friend. Each one of you Changing Room Chumps becomes a friend to me. Thanks for making it easy for me to feel that way about you.
"Count your nights by stars, not shadows;
Count your life by smiles, not tears;
And with joy on every birthday morning,
Count your age by friends, not years".

Would love to see a "before" picture- I am still thinking about painting my maple cabinets. What kind of paint did you use?
I am even more excited to meet you tomorrow after seeing this kitchen remodel! Gorgeous!! I can tell that we'll get along perfectly!
Hi Kim..You should just go for it and paint those cabinets! We used Benjamin Moore's Ivory White and he sprayed them with a sprayer.
@Jill...thanks for the compliment and for having me over today! Of course we hit it off and I love ya already Chump! Hey, take a "before" of that wall and we'll blog the results, kay?
