The Beginning

After living in my home for 33 years, we decided to make some changes to our Laundry Room, Kitchen and Dining Room.  These three rooms have had the same wallpaper for these 33 years.  That is long enough. 

We built our house ourselves with the help of my husband's father.  We were given the land it sits on and we were very young.  We raised two children, who have taken mates and we now have four grandchildren.  Our lives are very full.  The reason we are doing all this work is because my mother passed away in November of 2009, we sold her home.  That happened in November 2010.  I wanted to take the money from the sell of her house and make something that I could remember her by.  She lived in a four room house all of her life and always dreamed of a beautiful kitchen.  The following is a blog about the work that we are in the process of doing to our home.  Maybe some of the things in this blog can help you if your are thinking of doing a remake or a redo.
