Stiletto

Just a mom raising The Boy (adopted from Guatemala) along with my fabulous husband (MFH). I am a shoe whore, especially of the high heeled variety. Hence, the nickname.

Unveiling

The green carpet is the old stuff. We are really bad at time frames, but figure we had it installed about 9 years ago.


I really like the new tan carpet. It is a sculptured carpet so I guess kind of a combination of low shag and berber. I am a little concerned that it is too light for the boys and a dog, but I was told it would wear well and clean well. The Boy had an incident with some blue kool-aid on Sunday, and yes, it came right out. We now only allow clear drinks in the living room.


Here are the cabinets. MFH is finished with the top row, so the bottom row is "before". I am very pleased with how they are turning out. I love love love the new sage green cabinet pulls, and I found them at the first store I shopped at. The black/stainless stove is new, too, and I need to find a matching range hood. I just now realized how bad that looks!

Please don't look at the clutter sitting at the far left of the picture on the cupboard. I wish I would have cropped these pics a bit. Is it just MFH, or are all men like this? You know, needing cupboard space to put stuff on that should just be thrown away? (Sorry, hun. Don't mean to rag on you in public.)

    Man, I LOVE renovating! (I'm not being sarcastic... I really do) Love the new carpeting... I'm a big fan of neutral colors on the floor. Makes it so much more fun to add bold splashes of color throughout the room, yo?

    :) Nice.

    Carpet's a huge improvement, even though the green I bet was hiding more than just spilled blue kool aid...

    Isn't it funny how something seemingly so minor as drawer pulls can give a cabinet a new personality (yes, even though he had to refinish them as well).

    You are so funny. I don't know why people don't use turn signals. Stupid people. They are the same people who walk r e a l l y s l o w l y across the street when they are in your way and don't try to hurry. Your new cabinets and carpet are beautiful!! Love the sage green drawer pulls!
