Wow, I have been a delinquent blogger!
I will be celebrating a milestone in May, my 50th Birthday is approaching and as I count down to that day I have been reflecting on health and
lack of fitness. With my focus on this fast approaching day I have been making some changes and I have started a blog on that journey. You can see my updates

I know I'm not unique but for years I lived on the Real Estate listings website. I would critique the listings, if a link didn't work or information was wrong I would email the Realtor to let them know of the problem. If Frank and I went for a drive and noticed a listing, I could usually tell him about the house, the price and what the inside was like or I would complain about the lack of...
First, let me tell you how excited I am that our kitchen is almost complete. Yippee! We just have to complete the Island trim and paint it, oh and there's one wall that has been patched so it needs paint. Then DONE! Finito! Wooo Hooo!
I was off work this past week and had a mission to check a few things off the to do list. I don't know what it is but if I don't stay busy with small projects...
This project was originally posted January 2011 but I wanted to Spruce it up and link it to Funky Junk Interiors

I found this red...
I was just searching for an image that would resemble a light I am making over and I came across an image I just have to share. A had a few snickers when I referred to our
old kitchen light as a fancy "boob" light. During my image search today I think I found "The" boob light ... it's antique milk glass so it has to be one of the originals.
Anyway, I guess it's the kid in me.

We have almost finished our current projects, and it's so exciting to start seeing the end result. It's kinda like our Christmas present to ourselves. It's really beginning to feel cozy. On my last update I asked for opinions on hats or no hats for our kitchen chandelier, I took your guidance and picked up some hats for the chandi!
So to recap, here is the original light ... Fancy Boob Light ......
Our home is open concept so it's hard to take pictures of updates when we are working on both the kitchen and living room. Frank has been busy working away while I'm at the office, we're almost there!
Here is a quick peak at the Distressed Kitchen Cabinets, I will apply a coat of Minwax poly to the finished cabinets.
Next, Frank has been working on the faux brick. I have not been able to capture...
What I love most about Christmas is gathering with friends and family. A festive gathering is not complete without the wonderful food prepared with love. My sister-in-law Cyndy bakes some of the best Christmas treats. There was one chocolate goody that I think was called a Buried Cherry (chocolate covered cherries). Imagine a group of adults sitting around the table after dinner, some wine had...
We've gone White this year!
We wanted a smaller tree that would fit on a corner table in the Living Room, with all the painting and decor changes we are making right now we thought a white tree would look really great.
Here's a shot that Frankie took during the day today with his Blackberry ...
I took a couple of quick pics this evening but I haven't mastered the camera settings yet
The room is a bit...
