Longest Blog Update Ever


Hi, everyone!

We spent this weekend (the time I wasn't working Saturday, or spending at our Past Basket Open House/Party Saturday night) cleaning. Grant was home for the weekend...he is off again to Tampa tomorrow morning, but just for the day....

The desk that we amazingly both liked and ordered in February finally came in last week. Grant picked it up yesterday and we assembled it, the return piece and the file cabinet last night. We emptied out the office that has been a crap retention place since we moved in two years ago. We decided that the only items to return to the office would have to warrant a need or necessity in the office. It felt like the TLC show where they help clean you out. Currently, the office looks great, but the family room still needs a lot of help. Here is a pic of the office emptied into the family room, and after shots of the office.
I also have been working on the craft room for a few weeks. To anyone who saw it before....its a big change from the madness. I FEEL better just walking in there.
Grant and I watched the Chicago River being dyed green before the St. Patty's Day Parade from the top of the Hancock building....it was so fun!


This is us window washing the Hancock Building....

......and down by the river.


We also hosted the Marek family December, February and March birthday party. Nine birthdays total....it felt like Christmas opening gifts. Here is a pic of Aunt Donna in front of the cute cupcakes I made. (I really did make these.) Emma helped the March birthdays sing....her birthday isn't for a few months, but she just wanted to help blow out the can-dows. :)

Lastly....this is one of the kitchens I have been working on! It's almost done, but it still needs the bead board that is going on the backsplash, the beautiful walnut floors uncovered and final touch up~The hardware has since gone on, and the slab of limestone is now up over the range.
