The year of the House




2008 was the year of DIY house projects! painting walls, installing trim, painting more walls, installing and upgrading seemed to be the theme.
2009 was the year of decorating! resulting in a home but also a house full of clutter and unused chauchkies!
2010 was the year of repairs! Fridge, floors, exterior painting, siding replacement, floors again, kitchen cabinets, exterior lighting, new fence built by grandad, repairs to irrigation system...etc
Well 2011 is going to be the year of purging, organizing and finishing projects! Time to finish up things from years passed.

This month we will be finishing the kitchen. We took the opportunity to reconfigure the layout and add more cabinets while the floors were ripped up last year. This weekend (not to interfere with the Seahawks playoff) we will be sanding, conditioning and staining the new kitchen island and trim. This will be just in time for the new granite to arrive next week...very exciting! After 8mths with no island, it will be so wonderful to have it back!!!
Will post some before and after pics in a few weeks.

Looking forward to a productive year and finishing these nagging projects from around the house!
