AFTER:


Now when you come to visit you can say,

"Hey Ginnie, you've got a nice set of knobs!"

and I can respond by saying,

"Why, thank you. Thank you very much.
I'm pretty fond of them myself.
They're real you know and they weren't very expensive either."



Next project: girls room and the landscaping...

So I guess it has been a while. Your blog is the only one I usually have to play catch up too. So much happening. Love the kitchen. And I guess today is the day for some big news. (I voted boy)! Hopefully it won't be a couple of months before I find out. I'll have to check back soon.

I have to say that I'm a recent follower of your blog, and I just love it to pieces! You are so entertaining, and I love your photography style. I'm always looking forward to your updates!

It's so purdy. I'm totally jealous of your awesome bar. You can fit like a zillion barstools around it. That's awesome entertaining if you ask me. Perfect for chit chat.

Totally impressed.....my other half wouldn't even know where to begin on such a project. way to go!

Love it Love it Love it. Way to go you two- I think it was a joint effort wasn't it? Looks so snazy and clean. Nate and Eric would fit right in together. Can't wait to eat my first meal on that great bar stool of yours. My request is your taco soup.
