Several years ago, I attended a class taught by and well-known homemaking guru, Daryl Hoole. One of her many bits of advice was to do "Something that Stays Done" every day. I have followed this advice off and on, but want to make it a habit in 2011!

P.S. To see the blog that inspired me to get started and to see more great ideas of things to get done, check out dirtylittlesecrets2010.blogspot.com. Thanks, Becky!

I thought I was almost there!

If you check this blog very often,
you know that projects seldom go as planned.
Remember my five-day back yard project that took five weeks?
And my granite and backsplash that are not yet finished?
Well, to add to the list...
My four-day cabinet painting project is approaching two weeks!
The painter installed door and drawer pulls on Saturday while we were gone.
When I got home, this is what I found...
Not even close to straight or even.
Grrrr!
He used a new template he had just purchased.
After coming back Monday, he was embarrassed and had to take half the doors back
so I could have straight handles.
So...tomorrow is now the finish date.
We'll see.
I'll keep ya posted!

Almost There!

My kitchen is so close to being done!
The painted cupboard doors are supposed to come this morning.
In the meantime,
here are a few of the things I've been doing...
Changed two of these to black,
Fixed the stove so it's now the same height as the new countertop,
And took this blind apart because the strings were tangled inside.
I got to wash it while it was on the floor, too.
Final kitchen pics are coming soon!
Yay!

Kitchen Sneak Peek

Here's a taste of what I've been up to.
Hopefully in a week or so, my kitchen will be complete.
I showed you some of the new countertops.
Here's some of the new backsplash.

Now we just need a little a whole lotta paint!
