New Toys + New Kitchen?

We had a pretty busy weekend here at the Moore household! Derek and I decided that we want to remodel our kitchen. This idea came up about a year ago, but I was pregnant and we thought we better wait until we had the baby and our finances were not too different! Ha, little did we know how much harder this would be NOW with a 8 month old baby! Our kitchen is functional, but less and less with a baby. One of the walls is open shelf storage for all our kitchen stuff...and that's NO GOOD with a crawling baby who gets in to EVERYTHING!

We went out and designed our new kitchen, picked out the cabinets, granite, travertine floors, and all the rest that we would need. We got estimates of how much the materials would cost, and then Derek would do all the work himself. This is a pretty big project, but I have no doubt that Derek would do a fantastic job, as he always does with home improvement projects. Now we just need to decide some final details...Oh the thought of a beautiful new kitchen :)

Now on to more important things....here is the little man with his new toys! I found these at a garage sale (the alphabet mat and doggie seat), and $5 later Gavin has been entertained for hours!

  2. I want to go to your garage sales!!!
    I hope we get before and after photos on the kitchen. Tell Derek best of luck? That will not be a very easy task,but we know he can do it! I am cheering for you.
