Kitchen Progress

-

 Hi everyone!


Things are moving along at the new house! Although our neighbor's homes did not fare so well after the fire, we were fortunate to have not been delayed in our construction process.  The damage we did suffer was very minor.  My heart still hurts for the neighbors who lost their beautiful new home and the other neighbors who had considerable damage to their new home as well. 

Let me show you the progress made on our kitchen this week. Everything is looking great! It's amazing how things are changing on the daily with the finishes going in now.  They are currently working on the exterior siding and I am so excited to share that with you soon.  The color choice will surely surprise you (and our neighborhood lol)! 









We will be having double ovens. It looks like there is space for only one, but the bottom portion gets cut to fit oven #2.  Although we won't use two ovens at one time very often, I am over the moon about this feature! Thankfully, it was included in our base cost. I don't think the mister would have indulged me if it were an extra cost. 


Our floors have all been installed and you can see just a snippet in the picture above. We had the same floor installed throughout the entire house and I just love how it turned out. With a dog and a brand new grandson, it will be so easy to clean up any spills or mishaps. We will have area rugs in the bedroom and living areas to soften and warm things up. 

Thanks for checking up on me today. I wish you all a glorious 4th of July!

    I have always wanted wall oven along with a regular freestanding one. At the holidays you will love that. The cabinets are beautiful. I know you are getting so excited to see your new home coming together. xoxo Kris

    Jane, your kitchen is going to be beautiful. Love the style of cabinets with the hardware. I really didn't realize you were so far along on the build. Wow, so happy that fire didn't cause you too much damage. That must have been so scary.. I can't even count the times I had wished for two ovens. When that time comes for you, you will count your lucky days!.. Hope you had a happy 4th celebration..xxoJudy

Cold Weather Cozy

 Hi friends! It's been cold here in Kentucky and we even got a few inches of snow this morning. Winter has definitely shown up here and around the country! I actually enjoy cold weather and hunkering down in the house with warm sweaters, cozy  blankets and a steamy drink.  I have been working on a little kitchen refresh that I'm hoping to share in a few days. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy a few pictures of our living room fireplace area. I hope you all stay warm and have a terrific weekend! I made some homemade chicken soup this morning and it has been simmering away on the stove top - it smells so good on this blustery January day. I'm looking forward to having some for supper tonight!

Cozy Winter Favorites: Wax Melts

Hi friends! I've been thinking about the things that make my house a home and give me all the cozy feels during the cold and sometimes dreary days of winter. I also thought it might be fun to do a little series of posts about them to share with you! Today let's visit one of all time favorite ways I like to cozy up my home, not just in the winter, but year around - wax melts!  There are so many things to like about wax melts, but my number one reason I'm a fan is no open flame! No danger of fire, no dirty soot. Don't get me wrong, I love a good candle (and do use them) but yikes, they sure burn dirty and make a mess when used day after day. And of course, the danger of forgetting to extinguish them and the risk of fire.  I do like the smell - or "throw" - of a candle more than a wax melt, but the wax melts are a great alternative!   Wax melts can be very economical - only a few dollars for a pack that will last you many, many days. They are easy to find - avail...

2024 Will Be Enough

 Hi y'all! Happy New Year to all of you!  I've been thinking a lot about the new year and all the usual resolutions and expectations we all tend to set for ourselves with a 365 day clean slate presented to us each January 1st.  As the Christmas season unfolded, I also have been thinking about the pressures and expectations we tend to put on ourselves to make the Christmas experience "perfect."   We craft, we decorate, we bake, we entertain, we buy and yet, it never seems enough. Social media has a lot to do with this feeling of not doing or being enough. I noticed in so  many blogs and vlogs this past season, where the creators would constantly  apologize that "I need to repaint this room, our Formica countertops need to be replaced, we ran out of time to install new floors, the curtains are all wrong" and on and on and on. Nearly every post or video proclaims some embarrassment or disclaimer that their home was just not quite good enough. Yet, there h...
