Another Before and After



Yes! We are almost done with our kitchen! Luckily, we have some good friends that were willing to come help us work on our house this weekend. Andrew's dad came again and we were able to get a lot done. We've been living with cabinets all over the floor of the kitchen for so long! It feels nice to be able to walk around without stubbing my toe.

These pictures are obviously taken at different times of day (so the pictures I took tonight are a little dark), but I'm so excited to have it almost done that I wanted to post some pictures tonight. There are still some things to be done, but it's getting there. You can't see in the picture, but the ceiling color (light green) is the same color as the cabinet doors.

For anyone we haven't told, we have decided to sell our house. Andrew is meeting with a realtor tomorrow to get things rolling. It almost makes me cry when I think about it--after all our hard work we will just have to pass it on. But we are doing it because we are hoping to make a profit and then mostly live off what we make from the house so that I can stay home with Kate and Andrew can go to school full-time and graduate! It will be a huge blessing for us if we can sell it for what we want to sell it for.

We are still only part way through our bedroom and master bath, but we will keep working on it and hopefully get finished soon. The hardest part will be putting up all the moulding (we still have to do that for the kitchen, both bathrooms and our bedroom.) It's time consuming and I'm sure the saw will not make Kate smile (considering the blender sent her to tears the other night), but we are hoping with a little luck and a lot of blessings and great friends we will get it done soon!

Wow, you have done such a great job!! At least you will have experience in home improvement for the next house. You will love staying home, it's so fun! (well most of the time ha/ha)

The place looks fantastic, Jenndrew (I'm trying to go Hollywood with our names-- I'm Jomega and Shack of course for Shannon and Zack...) :) Let me know how the selling goes! Hopefully you find a buyer soon!
