Soon after we bought our house I was already looking for cheap furniture to put in it. I have seen a lot of dresser makeovers online and decided to start with a nice easy project. I found this old, basic dresser at an estate sale for $10: I recently saw a similar dresser tutorial…

Kitchen and Dining Update: Flooring
Here it is! The kitchen flooring is installed. We are so close to having a finished kitchen. We just need some trim and other finishes and we will be done!

Laminate Flooring
We had a busy and fun weekend, between picking up supplies 3 hours away, a Halloween party, and the Packer game. We weren’t able to get much done, but we bought our flooring for the kitchen and dining room. We wanted a dark floor to contrast the white cabinets and trim. We went with a…

Kitchen Counters
I can’t even believe the difference that counter-tops and appliances can make in a kitchen. This weekend we made a trip to pick up some of our finishes and were even able to get some installations done. Here is the new and improved kitchen: We still need to install the sink and we haven’t put in…
