2012 ROUND UP ~ and a sneek peak at 2013
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great 2012 and I hope you’re looking forward to everything wonderful that will happen in 2013! I was reading my goals for 2012 in my New Years post last year to see if I accomplished anything I wanted to this past year. I’ve always known my […]
THE KITCHEN IS COMPLETE ~but is it really ever done?
BEFORE I REVEAL THE FINISHED KITCHEN… A little history. When I started this blog, my plan was to tell our story of how we staged the house to put it on the market to sell. We had a very nice stager walk through our house and tell us what to put away, what colors to […]
A NEW POST ~ or should I say newel post
When I clicked on the button “New Post” to write this new post, I giggled because this post is about two newel posts we added to our kitchen island today. We bought two newel posts from Lowe’s (they are the ones used for the bottom of staircase railings) Sons #3 & #4 primed and painted each post […]
KITCHEN UPDATE ~ goodbye tile backsplash!

(COUNTER) TOP O’ THE MORNING TO ME!
Top o’ the mornin’ to y’all! I know I’m a little late with the St. Patty’s Day quote. But coming from the O’Briens on my dad’s side and the McColgans on my mom’s side, we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day all year long! The countertops are in and I’m doing the happy dance! We […]
KITCHEN UPDATE ~ three sections down, two to go
I love watching my kitchen transform into a fresh and bright room! We have finished the third section of the kitchen around the dishwasher. The LOML hung beadboard paneling on four sides of the cupboard. Notice the gap in the floor trim ~ the LOML is going to trim out the whole area to give […]
THE KITCHEN REDO ~ what we did this week
What a busy week this has been so far in our house! We’ve had Valentine’s Day, the LOML’s birthday, We all thought of words that best describe the LOML alias Dad Son #4’s birthday, Son #4 loves UNC’s Harrison Barnes a basketball game, horseback riding lessons and we’re working on the kitchen. My house is a […]
