-Jessie Spano (Saved by the Bell)
Sorry, I had to use that quote... it's a classic. :) I really do feel just like Jessie, minus the scared part!
Jordan and I absolutely love our house. It is a great set-up and has an awesome backyard. The only thing it is not a newer home... so it has plenty of things that can be "improved upon"! So when we moved in, we both said we would love to paint the kitchen cabinets, get new flooring in there, and also new countertops. Well, we have started step 1 of our home improvement phase- PAINT.
Jordan painted the natural wood colored cabinets in our laundry room as a trial run before doing the kitchen, and they look great!!!! They are now a chocolate brown color and I bought some cute little knobs at Hobby Lobby that are a turquoise/blue and white. The wood cabinets in our laundry room and kitchen really date our house, so the little money we are spending on paint is going to go a long way. I don't have a before pic of the laundry room, but here it is now (it's very tiny, I really shouldn't call it a room, more of a nook) :) :
So now I have a few pictures of the kitchen from last night when we started painting (I say "we" lightly, because I'm pregnant ya know, and really should only supervise and boss Jordan on how to do it). :) Really these pics will show you a good starting point, so we can all be more appreciative of the end result. The cabinets in the laundry room used to be the exact same wood color as the kitchen (just fyi). Everywhere you see the lovely wood color will soon be a delicious chocolate brown. :)
Oh, and I had to throw in a picture of my contribution... :) Instead of paying $5 for a new electrical outlet cover (ours was just dirty looking to me), I got some pretty scrapbook paper and mod-podged it. All for FREE.99! :)
I will keep you all updated on our home improvement challenge... hopefully we can get the paint job done soon! :)
What do you think?
XOXO!

LOVE IT!!!! I really love Jordan hard at work while you are snapping pics. :) I can't wait to see the finished project. I know it is going to look amazing!
wow...those look amazing!! I can't wait to see the finished project :)
I can't wait to see the completed kitchen. The laundry room already looks great. So glad you went with the chocolate brown...I think "we" made a good choice:) Call you tomorrow. Lovelove
I guess coupon shopping has made room in the budget for remodeling! I like that...I may have to start cutting coupons myself! It looks like Jordan is doing a GREAT job! Scratch as many projects off your list as you can -before baby comes. The cabinets look FANTASTIC!!
Let me just say I love it when your commercial comes on my tv randomly and I'm like, "There's my friend!!"
Love it! I would love to stop by and see the finished product this weekend. Way to go Jordan (and Katie too) The knobs look great! So fun!
