Please tell me what you guys think! Mike and I are divided on the new knobs for the kitchen. As you can see the old knobs are to the far left. For some reason she picked knobs from the 80's even though the house is only three years old. The black knob goes with the appliances but does it stand out too much? Do the silver knobs blend in too much? What do you guys think?

52 Blessings - Week 8

This week I am grateful that I do not have to paint my new 4100 square foot house from top to bottom. I had the fun part and picked the paint colors and we are paying to have the house painted. My brother Michael and his company are painting it for us. It would have taken us forever and they are doing a way better job than we would have.




This is Emma's room after paint. It is a little pink :)

This is the library before paint and the bookcases get installed. They are being made this week!















This is the family room before paint - looking in from the foyer.

52 Blessings - Week 7

I know, I am having a real hard time keeping up with my blog. Life is little busy right now. For this week's grateful list I put a picture of some of Abby's valentines that she hand made for her classmates. I am glad that I have such a talented daughter who I will be able to eventually give projects to. Those of you who are unfortunate to be some of my talented and crafty friends know that I come up with ideas and then ask other people to help me fulfill my latest aspirations. Well the rate Abby is going maybe I will not have to ask you guys to help me with projects anymore.
