It has been a long time coming . . . in fact it has been 10 years in the making, but we have finally finished the re-vamping of our kitchen.
Painted cabinets, walls and furniture; new granite countertops; a new sink; hardwood floors; and a custom built barn door. I just love it! Here are some pictures of all the new, along with some of our old, that I still love, such as: the teacup chandelier, the magnetic spice rack, my pumpkin dishes, and a great cutting board. Otherwise, the wall art, the window blinds, and everything else is new. We carried the wood flooring into the living room and up the stairs into the hallway.
This is the Christmas version of our decorating, but you get the idea. Many THANKS to Tyler for the great granite counters. And to Kevin, Hunter & Trever, for helping Steve lay the floor and for crawling around in the attic to move the electrical. And especially to Steve for doing everything else, including using his alpaca shears to cut-down the nap of our new entryway rug, which was too tall to accommodate the opening of the front door. He can always turn my poor judgment in purchasing into a "WIN". I am so happy with everything!
Speaking of our alpacas . . . we have 16 now (12 females and 4 males). Last Sunday morning, we took these two little cuties out to feed them. They were so brave, and hand-fed little treats to them through the fence. You can see we were all ready for church and we really enjoyed our time with them.
No knitting talk this time . . . although my "Herringweave" cardigan is coming along nicely. I'm about to start the decrease for the arm scythes on the front pieces. We'll be travelling after Christmas, which will be the perfect time to finish it up. Have a Merry Christmas . . . and I'll be back in the New Year.
