Kitchen Facelift

When you moved into our rental townhouse last fall we knew we needed to do a little upgrading. Our main priority was the kitchen. As you can see in the before picture it wasn't pretty at all and looked straight ugly! After lots and lots of hard work (mostly Brennen's) and time we are really happy with how it turned out!

 We painted the cabinets, added hardware, put up a bead board back splash, painted the walls, and put up new lighting. 

I love the before and after of this room too. It's amazing what a little paint on the walls and different decor can do!

Goodbye Mark Ave

The last month has been crazy to say the least. Mostly because we sold our house. About the middle of July we started talking about our plans after the summer, and decided to test the waters with selling our house since it is what kept us tied to Rexburg.

We put it on Craigslist to see if we would get any lookers. Well within a week we had some people interested, and 4 weeks later we had sold and closed on the house! We have moved back to our townhouse we lived in before and trying to go from 3200 sq ft and a 3 car garage to 1200 sq ft and a car port has been quite the challenge!

It's been sad to leave our first real house, but we know that with how everything has happened the Lord's hand has been in the process and it is meant to be.

My Favorite Things

Tip Junkie had a Talk to Me Tuesday about your Top 10 Favorite Things in your house. After just getting off the phone with my mom and we were discussing how we need to be better journal writers, I decided I better do this as a form of journal writing.

1) I love this decor area in my family room. It is where I put flowers when I get them, seasonal decor, and I especially love the pictures of 

Brennen and I.

2) I have a fetish with clocks, this is my favorite

3) The bathtub in our bathroom is amazing, I 

am making a goal to actually use it more.

4) I adore my closet, it was one of the main selling points for the house.

5) Our front door is huge and I love having a wreath on it to match the season.

6) You will find my favorite print, Damask, throughout my house.

7) I figured I should include Brennen in this...here is his favorite thing in the house!

8) I am loving our new MacBook!

9) My business Madison Envy is one of my favorite things in my house as well. This is some of the inventory.

10) And of course my favorite thing in our house is Bren!
