Ashley's Wedding Dress

Ashley went dress shopping with Heather and a friend and found her perfect dress so Ash and I went back tonight and closed the deal! It was even 100 less than she was told last night! I will have to work my magic to make it "suitable" by adding straps and making a bolero (the one she has on cost $129!)...but with 4 inch heels she doesn't need it hemmed! She looks like a princess!

More Kitchen Redo


This by far was the hardest part! Probably because there was 6 doors and 8 drawers but I was very exhausted by weeks end. It was then that I decided that my goal to have them done by Christmas was very unrealistic, especially if I wanted to ENJOY the holidays!

So I decided to just do the Island counter and call it quits for awhile. The base cabinets are done and the ones over the desk.
I also decided not to do the bead board on the front face because it would entail more work and expense and I would have to wait for Roy to put in place for me. But I like the results anyway.
The colors in the pictures are a bit off...the lighting I guess. But all in all I love the new look! and I can't wait to get it all done! I also think that I may not do the fireplace mantel and stair railing...at least not until maybe after I have recuperated from Ashley's wedding!
