Just like new!

Not sure about y'all but I am not a big fan of hunter green counter tops! It was that one thing in our house that I have been dying to get rid of. With the baby news, we decided we need to get on it before Lil Bit arrives. In the process we did a few other updates that made a world of difference in our kitchen.  By we I mean with the help of our awesome families over three long but fun weekends. I think I might just become a better cook because of it! Take a look....

 One of my favorite new details, the cookbook nook!

Now everyone needs to come over and see it in person :)

Guest Bathroom #1

You may remember this hideous preview of our guest bathroom. This is a guest bathroom located upstairs and is used frequently when people come over. Looking at this picture I can't believe I let anyone go in there! Yikes! Luckily, it is no longer quite the eyesore. 

 Before: Where to begin? Dark, two layers of wallpaper. just plain gross!

 This pattern is horrendous!

 After: It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do! Really 3 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint but who's counting? Removed the border, new shower curtain, hardware and shelf over the toilet.

So much lighter and even seems bigger! Now whenever you come over I won't make you hold it anymore!
