We Finally Finished Our Kitchen!

Our kitchen was in desperate need of a change. When we bought our house the kitchen was closed off from the rest of the room with a wall in between the living room and kitchen so we knocked it down to open up that space, which helped a lot with having young children playing in the living room while I worked in the kitchen.

Over the years we updated the kitchen here and there, but only as time and money would allow. We added a pantry which we really needed and replaced flooring.

This time we replaced our backsplash, kitchen sink, countertop, and cabinets. I love working on projects in our house and making it more beautiful and homey. It can be overwhelming sometimes to navigate family life and finishing a project. Everything is messy and it takes time to get it all done. But the result is always worth it.

There is so much value in doing a job on our own and to teach our children how to do that job so they develop the same skills to use when they’re on their own. And when we’re finished we can all be proud of a job well done. We know the struggles that we had while we worked side by side. We helped each other and overcame challenges together. And that room that we know and love so well is deeply rooted in our love for each other and the moments we spent building it together.
