We have gradually been unpacking this week... today I (Emily) unpacked the last box of kitchen stuff and it feels good to have everything in it's place. Pictures are starting to go up on the wall and we have a list of many, many little things to do - towel racks to hang, shelves, staining on the trim yet, and unpacking boxes of books (I guess we need a few more bookshelves first!) But the rooms are starting to come together so I thought I'd post some before/after pictures of the rooms that I painted. Painting was about all my skill-set could handle, so while Mark and the men did the remodel of the kitchen, I painted and painted until my hand was frozen into a brush-holding position. Enjoy the pictures!
PS - just wanted to note that we were very lucky with our appliances. We got a new stove on sale and the new fridge wasn't planned, but a new member at church was getting rid of it for cheap! So not new, but new to us. And we love it!
