That time again

It's that time of year again. While my hubby is playing his role as hunter and gathering sitting hours upon hours in a tree stand waiting for that trophy buck, I get an itch to do some home improvement projects. Last year I painted the entire family room. For those of you that have seen this room, it's no small feat. To boot, I had a 4 year old and a 4 month old that required some attention as well. This year I decided I shouldn't be so ambitious.

I opted for updating our hardware in the kitchen and painting the downstairs bathroom. I'm a little embarrassed that I waited over 5 years to change the hardware.....all I have to say is that there must have been some sort of discount on these 1980's gold brushed things when the previous owners built. They are EVERYWHERE in my house - the kitchen, the hallway, the upstairs bathroom and the laundry room. Ugh. I chose to just update the kitchen and the hallway to start with. That alone was 29 knobs! See the update:





I tried to take before and after pictures of the bathroom, but they didn't really turn out. ....guess you'll just have to stop over to see for yourself.

I like!!! Isn't it amazing how hardware can give your kitchen a different look?
Wish I could swing by and see your paint job. Way to check some stuff off the list!!

I also copied your poll idea. I thought it was kind of fun...

Ooh, trendy. I think my grandma had those old ones all over her house, too. But if so, that was in the early 90's, so I think it was time for a change! (I have only been to your house once, but never even noticed, if that makes you feel any better!)

According to the poll, you should go lighter. Have you made the official decision?? Is the appointment actually today??? Yeah, I bet you're excited. Good luck... I think you should post a picture of your new FALL hair.
