Remodel Progress - Post 1







A lot has happened since my last post. My coat closet is now my pantry! See the photo here.


The former pantry, now resides in the computer/workout room. It has been repurposed to house all our computer and printer stuff (one day soon). See photos below!

















Which left a wall that now looks like this:


After my sweey hubby cut a whole in this wall which used to house the pantry!




More to follow...........

DIY Home Improvement Projects - 2010

Ever had the urge to change things around the house? Me, too! Sometimes my ideas are small and require minimal effort. However, from time to time, the plans are much grander. Here is our list of 7 home improvement projects to complete before Thanksgiving.
1. Enlarge our patio area.
2. Turn closet near kitchen into a pantry.
3. Remove pantry cabinet in kitchen and replace with base cabinet and perhaps a wall cabinet. The pantry cabinet will be repurposed in the computer room or Bob's shop. Cut pass through in wall between kitchen and great room.
4. New countertops for the kitchen! WooHoo!
5. Remove carpet in great room, hallway and computer/workout room. Replace with tiles that resemble wood flooring. Since we cannot match the tiles currently in our kitchen and entry, we will remove and replace those as well. These tiles are not costly and easily replaced when I decide (in a few years) to change!
6. Remove cabinets over toilets and replace with smaller ones. Paint vanities (any color but WHITE)! The cabinets we remove will be used in the laundry room.
7. Paint for great room and kitchen, possibly the hall as well.
My hubby is a great handy man and number 2 on our list is already complete and he is working on number 3. I love that man. I will be posting pics as we complete each project!

Life at this Moment



















Share a few of your summer goals:

1. Make jelly. There's just something about homemade.
2. Purge my closet. I have too many clothes!
3. Redecorate my bedroom. It's time.

I'm listening to: fussy children (not mine)

I'm reading: the Bible (need to work on that)

I'm thinking about: Zambia and leaving a 16 year old in the care of friends.

I am inspired by: people who love our country enough to die for it!

5 favorite links:
1. The Star Spangled Banner
2. Jesus, Struck by Lightning
I only came up with two:)

Picture of the week: This is where I spend most of my day.
























Join in the fun and tell about your life at this moment over at Not Your Everyday Cinderella.

Countdown to Zambia - 89

Hope no one is paying strict attention to my countdown. After searching for the best rate for airline tickets, our trip has been adjusted just a bit. Great news....the tickets have been purchased! Both the hubby and I have appointments for our immunizations later this week. Hopefully, the passports will arrive in a couple of weeks. Everything seems to be falling into place. Zambia, here I come!
