A kitchen makeover...

I have wanted to redo my cabinets for some time now and after a crash course in glazing with a new laundry room cabinet I decided to redo the entire kitchen... 6 days later I finally finished.  Whew, it was a lot of work; sanding, priming, painting and glazing.  Maybe a smidge more than I bargained for but don't tell Trip :).  He told me, via text message, that he just didn't think I knew what I was getting myself into.  He might have been right but hey, it turned out great in the end.

We had a few bumps along the way, I thought I might have poisoned myself, did you know that not only did they put lead in paint in the 1960s but they put it in wood varnish.  Who knew?  But after all was said and done the cabinets look great!

FYI... it takes a whole day just to take off the cabinets and put them back on.



Thanksgiving...

We spent Thanksgiving in Austin this year, it was so great to get out of Dallas and hang out with GiGi and Pappa B and the rest of the family.  Linley and Caden spent a lot of time playing outside, luckily, we caught some of it on camera.

2 min photo session... not bad.

the whole crew

On the run!








Who knew a brown box could be so fun?
