HOME ,Where your story begins

I grew up in the same house tell I was eighteen until I got married. Growing up I always thought how awesome it would be if we could move and go somewhere new exciting and different! Then I got married yeah I get to do something new exciting and different! We went on our honeymoon and I got homesick! Ha ! I missed my home and my family so much. Then when Jordan and Mason where 18months we packed up and moved to Tucson yeah an exciting and different change! Not even a week into living there I called my Mom and Dad and said can I please come stay with you for awhile , missed them again ! Ha! Through out my young years in Tucson I think I went back to visit more then I stayed home. We finally bought our first home only to live in it for two years then we were going to sell. We stayed in that cozy home for eleven years, Lindsey joined our family in this home. Then we moved to my dreammmmm HOME! I so loved this home! I so loved my happy family in our happy house. Sometime happy turns into something else and family gets broken. Even thou things were not the same we kept going in our happy dream home, until momma started trying way to hard to keep this home when it was only Lindsey and momma living in it. Everything I earned went into keeping this dreammmmm HOME, it wasn't so dreamy anymore! So I made a long ,sad,hard but good decision to give it up. Such weight lifted off my shoulders. During all this time I met a wonderful man who makes me so happy! So for a new Chapter in my story of homes we are living in this fixer upper in the ghetto hows that for something different and exciting? Let me tell you its been a year in this little house in the ghetto with lots and lots of new fun adventures!

We have gutted it and are slowly making it our cozy new home with new story's to build!

I finally got to see your pictures, they weren't loading for me before. All I can say is cute, cute, cute! I can't remember, did you paint your kitchen cabinets or replace them? I want to do something to my bathroom vanity (hate it). If you did paint your cabinets, how hard was it?

I painted them. It was time consuming but not hard. I used this gel stuff that you rub on cabinets so u dont have to sand them it takes off all the grease and grime. then I used oil based primer and paint. We even used same pulls we spray painted them with flat black paint.
