First of all, the two houses that we've owned we were able to have built, so we didn't have to worry a lick about outdated things and stuff getting older and falling apart. Well, this house is 19 years old, and she needs a little sprucing up. But we are ready! Ready for new projects, ready to get crackin' on the ideas we've been mulling over for the past two months!
Here's a sneak peek at the kitchen. I loooooove what this room is going to become! But it's going to take a little elbow grease and creativity to transform it, especially keeping costs as low as possible. Thankfully the appliances are fabulous, and they are all staying.
We've got some ideas brewing.....
do you see that glorious navy blue trim & naked cabinetry?
and the loverly shelving below?
don't even get me started on that dirty tile and grout- yikes!
Mmm. Jealous much?
On the other hand, I have always loved granite mailbox posts...
...and lampposts
I don't know if you can buy just the light part of a lamppost or not, but I think a larger one would look much better. Gotta look into that...
Okay, so this weekend we saw the sun yesterday AND today! I'll take it! We traveled for hours yesterday between Jonah's and Ethan's soccer games. We're so proud of them both! Jonah's team did have a really rough season, but Ethan's on the other hand ended up as the State Champs! Go boys! The girls won their tournament as well, and they stayed to cheer on our fellas. Neither side was complaining. :)
Isabelle somehow ended up right in the middle of this big group of 7th and 8th grade girls- it was the cutest thing! They just ate her up, which of course made her act even more adorable, ha!
I was never in the right spot to get a really great pic of Ethan, but he played hard! He later told us that the kid on the other team was swearing at him and trash-talking him the whole game. Nice.
We had a couple hours to kill in between games- Jonah went off to Margarita's with a friend, so we brought C and I to an apple orchard a few miles down the road.

woof.
Today we finally made it to the corn maze we bought tickets to almost a month ago! Our weekends have been soggy lately, but today was so beautiful!
this cutie sheep was flinging himself out the window to get the goods! it was hysterical!
and this sweet pony would start whacking the fence with her hoof for more food! so funny!
Daddy jumped out of the stalks to scare her - love that face!
We had a big laugh over this one.
Because, really, every corn maze needs a wooden boy on the potty.
HA HA HA

I see a TON of potential in that kitchen, too!! I can't wait to see what you do with it!! You'll get to make it all your own with a blank slate like that!
We love Once Upon A Time, too! I love that you never know which characters are going to show up. I don't think they'll ever run out of material on that show!
Cute pics. Stopping by from Weekend Blog Walk!
