Long time, no see!!! Sorry for the absence....Mama Staunton, Jim and I were working like dogs last week trying to get the house ready for Easter entertaining. Man am I sore! I'm not used to daily physical activity since my normal routine is being stuck behind a computer for 8+ hours a day. But Easter went great and it feels good to be amongst the normal people again with a nice, clean house! Well at least for a couple days as our house will get messy again this week due to the sanding and staining of the floors.
We have been taking our new appliances for a test run to make sure everything runs the way it should. Or it could be just Jim's excuse to try out the tappen yaki grill. Below Jim is practicing his onion flipping skills. This only took about 10 tries to get the money shot but not bad.
And the penny tile was installed and to say I'm in love is an understatement!!!!!!!!! I just love the way it shines when the light catches it!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! I think it goes with the granite and the wall color.
And the tiled back splash against the range wall.
A close up from the side.
Ahhhh I'm so happy with it!
And the wall looking into Lady Land. Just wait till we have the open shelves up. Then the walls hopefully won't look so empty.
And here are 4 out of the 6 kiddos for our annual Easter egg hunt right before we let them run wild. Aren't they so cute???
There goes Jake in his brand new teal jeans.
Avery and Evan going crazy scooping up all the eggs they can get.
And there's AJ and Jake on the hunt.
And afterwards! Man did those kids clean up or what???
Overall entertaining in the new kitchen was great!!! There's so much more room to move around in and no more fighting for oven space. It was awesome and looking around on Easter really made my heart swell with gratitude for all that we have.
Floors are getting stained this week so back to no kitchen for a full week. More updates to come!
It looks gorgeous!
