As part of moving into a new house, we have found plenty of projects we would like to and have had to do to this house to make it our home. Before we even closed on this house, we had a list of projects we wanted to move forward with. Some immediately and some would be farther in the future. A lot had to be moved to the "farther in the future" list due to finding out I was pregnant a month before we moved. A few of the immediate ones were: new carpet upstairs, new doorbell, sealing the garage man door, and cleaning the furnace that was overheating. After three months of living in our new house - my morning sickness is under control finally & Dave's hunting/football season has ended - we were finally able to get to one of the more fun projects.....
We stained/painted our kitchen cabinets black. Although the pictures don't even do it justice, it totally changed the whole mood in our house. Our next big projects will be redoing the tile, walls, and counter tops to match. Those all seemed to be on the more expensive side, so we started small and I LOVE the way they turned out.

I'm sure the 10 years ago Jessica would laugh at the things I find fun now. Being a mom, wife, and homeowner sure has changed what I do for fun now-a-days. :) I love it all!
Stay tuned for the next big project... whatever it may be.
