Emelie Downtown

Emelie and I headed downtown this afternoon to take advantage of the gorgeous weather! I bought this hat for her about a month ago, and we've been wanting to take some photos of her in it. The colors look awesome on her!

My Kitchen Remodel!! Yippee!!

Well here they are!! Everyone's been asking me to see pics of our kitchen remodel! I finally got everything put together for you!

The Before photos show you what our cabinets looked like and when everything was gutted out. I didn't get a full picture before Dennis started tearing them out, so you're just gonna see partial cabinets here!

You'll see in #5 the standing pantry. That was just stuck there in the corner. In the photos of After, you'll see where we added a new 10' high pantry with pull out drawers!! Yes, I'm lovin' it!!

Photo #8 shows all our kitchen stuff stuck over in the sitting area, where it sat for about 2 months! That was not fun putting that all away!

Here you'll see our Kitchen After the remodel! Isn't it gorgeous? We LOVE our new kitchen!! I could stay in there all day!! We moved the refrigerator to allow more counter space and put in a full slide in stove. Before it was just a cook top and the oven was on the wall. Also added drop down pendant lights over the bar and about 4 can lights all around this area to bring in more light into the room.

We're still developing the "sitting area". Trying to get rid of that portable kitchen island over there! Then we can start setting up the area with a couple chairs, table and rug. That will be nice once winter hits and you can sit by the fire!

Notice our new kitchen table and chairs? So nice...the table actually butterflies open to a 54" square table that seats 8. The extra chairs we just put at the bar until we need them. Oh, look a little Lucy kitty sitting next to the table! Ha! Didn't even notice her there when I was taking the photos!

I'm posting some individual photos too so you can see more detail in the overall room.

Ok, so now leave your comments for me cuz I wanna know how much you LOVE my new kitchen!!

Abbie Sue Models Pixyworld Clothing

Abbie had the opportunity to model this darling "Accessorize Me" set for Melody of Pixyworld Clothing. I don't think she's uploaded her photos yet to her site, but keep checking and you will see sweet Abbie modeling her designs!

This was really a fun set. The tops, dress, and shrug are all made out of a soft knit. Very comfortable for little girls. We just LOVE this set!
