A Kitchen That Needs Help

I have a tiny kitchen.... tiny.....

That is pretty much the whole thing....

We put our house on the market in June 2015 and It came off the market in May 2016 after not selling.  We have over 100 scheduled viewings and only one offer that didn't pan out.  I think a big reason for not selling is this kitchen.

So with the blessing.... kinda.... of my hubby I am starting to look at redoing the kitchen.  I am thinking the cabinets will all be replaced with white... counter top... well I would love butcher box type the cost and or effort are looking to be like more than we can probably handle... but I am working on that idea with the hubby.

As you can see that wall had a "chair rail" and above it is plaster walls and below is some kind of fake tile wall over plaster.  This has to go.

I should also say we are a tight budget with this project.  So I am thinking wall repair, and paint... this means the window frames are going and the door to the basement will have to be refinished... oh joy.
What color counter top if not wood.... and what backsplash??  I am lost on this right now.  I will be digging through online photos and DIY websites for weeks... Just another fun thing going on at our house!

Much Love,

I go missing from time to time which probably isn't good.  But here is what my summer looks like.

Up at 4:20am M-F gym, then work.
M-F clean house, do laundry
Friday get everyone in the car after work and drive to 1000 Islands.
Enjoy Saturday
Sunday, clean up the River house and pack again.  Drive home.
Monday.... repeat.

So most weeks are like this with odd ball weekend home now and then.  So basically we are at full speed all week to get the weekend to do it all over again.  I kinda love it, but it takes time away from other things in our life.  Hence no posting for a few weeks.  I hope to be able to write my post while riding up on Friday nights if I can't get to it in the week day hours.  We shall see how that goes. 

Other updates... I need to eat better.  I don't do horrible but I don't do great either... gotta fix that. 

My oldest will be 3 weeks which is crazy.  So we will take his Birthday off and spend it with him and the activity of his choice... this year... a BIG Zoo!  That will be fun.

I gave up sweets for the month of June and lost on day 4 when I pooped some M&Ms at my son's birthday party... WTF!!!!!!!!

Otherwise same old same old!

Much love,
Kim
