Well Deserved Time Off

So as of Friday afternoon my hardworking hubby is officially on VACATION!! For an ENTIRE Week! So with an almost 5 month old in the house I bet you think we have lots of leisurely days planned, or at the very least nothing planned at all. Just a week full of nothing. Well then, you don't know us very well do you. Ha! Here is a sneak peek so that you can take a stab at how he plans to spend his well deserved time off from the daily grind.

What is that you say? Are we hosting a tag sale? Auctioning off the contents of our kitchen cabinets on Ebay? Getting everything out to host an all you can eat buffet? Or is it that I am planning on cooking tomorrow and actually using EVERY pot in the house and not just kidding about it this time? NOPE, Nada, No. Actually, None of the above would be correct. On my Dear Husband's week off he is going to transform my glorious 70's kitchen into my Dream Kitchen.

Well, my "For under a $1,000 Dream Kitchen." He is going to paint my cabinets and all the hardwood paneling a bright creamy white. No more dark, drab, not light enough, not dark enough, weird color brown stain kitchen. We will still live with the Old Man Stripes wallpaper for a little while and we may actually not have hardware on the cabinets for a little while. These were my ONLY two tasks. Narrow down and order the wallpaper and order the cabinet hardware. I have known this was coming for quite some time. BUT, at least I have picked out our hardware now and we have 4 wallpaper books somewhere in the dining room under the contents of 2 (yes just 2) kitchen cabinets. Depending on the time of day since yesterday I have no fewer than 5 different favorite wallpaper samples. So one day it will be finished. But after this week the hardest part will be over.

I meant to actually take real before pictures. As in BEFORE we actually do anything but then the paint brush started calling my name and I just wanted to see what a little paint looked like here, and here, and over there, oh, and just a splash here and then I got bored with that and decided to empty out another cabinet. Good thing Trey doesn't have my ADD. So enjoy our "sort of before" pictures for now. Maybe we will have some AFTER pictures before we ring in the New Year! Thanks Baby!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
