My New Home Renovation

Hi everyone! Long time no blog 😀. I hope you are having a wonderful start to the fall season!  While you're out enjoying your pumpkin spiced lattes and decadent apple treats, would you mind bringing over some to me and my sweet hubby?! We're knee-deep in renovations and do-it-yourself projects. 

 

If you haven't heard me mention on-air, Aaron and I bought a new house... And it's a doozy! It's a complete renovation in terms of paint, electric, landscaping... But we are humbly trying to love every second of it. It's hard work and in the days of HGTV I want to snap my fingers and have it completed in under an hour... But as you'll see we're a little behind schedule.

 

This is where we started. If you can believe it, the walls, molding, spindles, railing and everything was painted red. RED.  As you can imagine... This was incredibly time-consuming paint project. We also had lavender, turquoise, gold, and pink walls.

If you're thinking of redoing your kitchen.. Consider keeping your cabinets if the layout is not an issue. We took our cherry cabinets from heavy and dated to shabby chic. After the linen white was painted on the cabinets we accented them, distressing it the same color as the island.

 

Tip:  if you're going the paint route, use a sprayer not a brush. The consistency and texture makes all the difference in the world.
