Three months later...

It's been a month since my last post, and I wish I could say we were finished. ACK! Alas, everything has been moving at a snail's pace. Now that school is back in session, it's moving even slower. It still feels like we are months away from being finished. However, I'm hoping for a couple weeks.

We picked up our hardwood floors on Sunday. LOVE IT! I'll post a picture soon. It's natural hand-scraped acacia. We definitely splurged, but it just caught both our eyes and we had to have it. We hadn't splurged on anything yet, and we didn't need a whole lot, so why not? We're putting it down this weekend. I. Can't. Wait.

Kitchen Cabinet Paint Colors: Part 1

As much as I'd love to have all new kitchen cabinets installed, it's not going to happen. At first, I thought I may buy cabinet doors only. Our cabinets are solid wood and are still in great shape, so why not just update them a little, right? Well, who knew cabinet doors were so pricey? (**sighing in defeat**)

We do have a flea market-esque store here in town called The Peddler's Mall that carries cabinets, doors, trim, etc. I'm keeping my eyes open for what I want because hopefully, at some point, I can find a complete set. It just might take a while.

Until then, we paint.

This Stuff Saved the Day

First, let me say this is NOT a sponsored post. However, I am highly recommending the following product to anyone remodeling an old house, or any house that has pets.

The past few years, my husband allowed our renters to have pets. I say "my husband" because I did not approve, but it's hard to turn down money in your pocket. Our last renters were university students in the vet program. They seriously had every animal under the sun in our house. Dogs, cats, rabbits, and even lab rats.
