Home improvements


Well, we've officially taken our house off the market for the winter, with hopes of starting fresh in the spring. However, we have recently made a few changes that we now wish we would have made about 6 years ago. Our old kitchen countertop was a lovely white with gold fleck. This past week, we put in this black/brown/green stone-looking countertop that really gives an old kitchen a little "pow!" We're really happy with it!

Our attic room (aka- the in-law suite), also was in desperate need of an update. Some of the paneling needed to be retacked, the carpet needed to be stretched, the trim needed some work, and it all needed a good painting- it's been a flat white since we moved in, and it was kind of scuffed up then! So we had the carpet stretched and retacked, we cleaned it, we fixed the paneling and trim, we painted (the walls are a light blue/gray, and the chimney and closet doors are a shade darker blue/gray), and we put up new curtains and rods. It really looks so much better, and Mom and Dad are pleased that we've fixed it up just in time for them to move back in! :)
