Cement


Well, my new counter tops are done and I love them. We have been planning to redo my counter tops for a long time now, but they have been put off and put off. Then when we put our house on the market we thought maybe they never would get redone. The house wasn't selling and we decided that since everything had already been paid for we might as well go ahead and do it. So my dad poured us these beautiful cement counter tops and brought them up to us this weekend. We installed them and put in my new HUGE sink and my cool faucet. I love these faucets and bought this one last October. I'm even debating about buying the same one for my new house if we move because I love it so much. So I think my kitchen got a sexy new face lift and hopefully my house will sell in no time. I'm very grateful to my dad for all the time and hardwork he put into them, I think they are beautiful!



Here is a picture just shortly after we bought our house. My mom and dad have helped me so much with fixing up my entire house. They came and did my floors and paint (we have painted those walls a couple times) and helped me replace appliances and install hardware on the cabinets and now the countertops, sink, and faucet (and that is just what they did in the kitchen, the list goes on and on for the rest of the house). I think the only thing I did was paint the cabinets myself. I think everything is such an improvement, THANK YOU mom and dad!

Crafty

I have been reminded that I haven't ever put pictures up of Grant's bed all put together. The reason is because I haven't found the perfect comforter to put on it. No one wants pictures of a bed with only sheets on it, I thought. Well after much procrastination, here is his bed with no cute bedding. I guess those will have to come later after I find or make the perfect quilt.


Oh yeah, I made the little ladder stand too. It is suppose to go next to his bed as a little night stand, but there wasn't room because of the closet. Oh well.




I've also made a couple home decor crafts this week for a friends birthday and a baby shower and I just wanted to post a couple pictures of what I've made. My mom has asked what they look like and so I thought I could put them on here for her to see and so I could document it. It is always nice to have a picture of something you make and give away.
