Changes in the Kitchen & a Party

This past week we were on vacation... well sort of.

It's was supposed to be one of those relaxing, fun vacations.

 

Hubby was supposed to go on a fishing trip and I was going to stay home
and work on some home projects.

 

Well it didn't turn out that way.

 

Hubby was having  foot problems from an old injury which prevented him from going on his trip.  So we ended up staying home and doing a few changes around the house.

 

One of those changes was to install a new stainless steel sink.  We are slowly switching out our old appliances with stainless steel ones as our budget allows.  We had an old white cast iron sink that was way past its' prime. We removed the old sink, which by the way, those sinks weigh a TON.

 

 

And installed a new Kohler 9 inch deep Stainless Steel Sink with a new
Glacier Bay Touchless faucet and soap dispenser.

 

 

This faucet is so cool!  It has a light in it!

 

 

This will come in handy for nighttime use!

 

Here is a wider picture of our beautiful sink area.

 

 

Hubby did a fantastic job!  I love my new sink and faucet!

 

The other change was the wall where I have my new chalkboard.

The wall looked a little bare on each side of the chalkboard.

 

 

So I created a few letters to hang on one side,

hung a few plates on the other side,

and swapped out a few items.

Now it looks finished.

 

 Yesterday we spent the day with our Son and DIL.  They just bought their first

home and had a house warming / birthday party.

 

 

They had a nice turn out.  Lots of family and friends stopped by.

 

 

Their house was bursting at the seams with people. 

The kitchen and dining room had too many people in it for me

to get a good picture.  Here is their living room.  It's HUGE!

 

 

It's too bad the weather wasn't warmer so we could have enjoyed their deck.

Although, we did go out here and eat corn on the cob.

Everyone who came brought a different dish to pass.

There was so much food that they will be able to eat on it for 2 weeks!

 

 

Here is the Birthday card I made for our DIL.

 

 

 

It is 7:40p.m. here and this is what is in our front yard.

 

 

That's it for this week.

 

Next week I will show you how I created my letters in the kitchen

and how to hang them.  It's another quick and easy project.

 

Until next time,

Veronica
