It’s fun to see how just a little paint makes a world of a difference. Last night we painted the trim in the hallway and just doing that it looks different. This time around we are painting the trim first then the walls. I can’t wait to see how it looks after this weekend.
Tomorrow after work I’m headed to Hartselle so I can be up and ready on time (8:00) to leave for Nashville. Still hard to believe that November is almost over. I need to crack down on my Christmas shopping. I have a few things brought but need to finish it out.
Edit: Well, I found out some encouraging/good news about having migraines. Women who have migraines are 30% lower risk to develop breast cancer than those who do not have migraines. Mom mentioned this to me last night and I googled it to see. |

It’s time when I need help. Since I’m new at this re-doing a house thing, I need to hear about your experience.
The Kitchen. This is where we need to do the most work. We are going to replace most of the appliances now (cooktop, oven, dishwasher) but I have no idea where to look to get the best deals, what brands are the best and good deals. Also we are hoping to replace the counter tops and flooring. Thankfully we don’t have that much of either of those (we have more of cabinets than counter tops and I’m happy about that). So what I’m asking is….where do you find the best deals on appliances and what brands do you like?
As for the countertops, we are thinking about doing tile. We like to be different than other people and not many people we know have tile so it wouldn’t be like we are doing what everyone else is doing. Does anyone have tile countertops or has experience with them. I know one down fall would be you would need a flat service to rollout any type of dough, but I’m ok with that. For the flooring, we are throwing around the idea of concert stones. I have seen pictures of these and it’s really neat how they look like cremate tile. Like the countertops, it’s different. Any thoughts on this?

I think I’m finally back on scheduled, although this rain doesn’t help much. The beach was wonderful. We had a very relaxing, low key trip. I forgot how much I enjoyed staying in a beach house.
I realized last night that I have got to get cracking on the details of the wedding. It’s about a 150 days till the wedding. Top that off that I had a dream last night that it was a disaster, nothing was right or finished.
I’m hoping this Friday I can start painting the trim in the master bedroom so we can start painting the walls soon. The halls and master room should be ready to go now. Saturday before heading to Birmingham, we are going to go look and hopefully purchase the new cooktop and oven. After November is over we are devoting every weekend to working on the house.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!
