Renos...Love Em But Hate Em

You'll be amazed what you can get your husband to do for you when you ask him to do a simple home reno.  When we moved to McKinnon, we had to buy a new front door.  In all the time we've been here, it's never been cased right, so I asked Zach to finish up that little project during his long change.  While we were at Home Depot getting the framing and a new threshold, Zach decided the whole kitchen needed fixed.  I couldn't argue with that, so we ended up buying wood for cabinet doors, paint, trim, and new finishings.  I dont' know about you, but I have to say it's about a 100% upgrade! 

The worst part of the whole ordeal is actually doing the work, which is why some of it isn't quite finished yet.  But, we went from hideous wood laminate cabinents to sleek white and from my oh so favorite floral paneling to Mozart blue.  The only thing we have left to do is the pantry cupboard, cupboard drawers by the sink, and the trim. 

Take a look at the before's and after's...
