The State of Affairs :: Take Two

Thank you all for the virtual hugs you gave me yesterday. I was so frustrated. I tried three more times after my whinny post and still didn't get the job done. Finally, late last night my pictures posted.

We are in the middle of updating a few things around here. I am the general contractor (and I haven't a clue - pray for me). This is the state of affairs at the Some of a Kind household ...

My dining room

That is an island for the middle of my kitchen and the cabinet on the left will slide under our bar for extra storage.

My kitchen

Bye bye Bunker Hill Green hello Blue Suede Shoes.

Our missing Chippendale door and the old trim color

It was ripped off when we were trying to carry the island in. Oops.

The new paint color

Only the second coat to go and many more windows and doors ...

My new fridge

Already covered in art. It's just perfect!

So you see my friends, my house is a wreck and is going to be for a while (we are also waiting for a new stove to then replace counter tops and convert our office into a laundry room). We have been waiting (and saving) since we moved into this house over 5 years ago to do these projects ... and now here we are and I have come to realize that I don't have the mental energy to get into my sewing space. It's bitter sweet. Great things are happening so I can't complain. I have had my nose in a few books - that seems to be easier to pick up and put down then sewing right now.

So, I'm here but not fully. I hope you guys will still stop by my virtual space to visit despite the lack of crafty things to share - I'm assuming most of my posts will not be of the 'artsy' nature ... until next time - happy whatevering to you!
