Penny Pinching

The other day my VT came over. She happens to have the same floorplan as our house. As we visited she happened to mention to me a wonderful idea she had about some minor home remodeling. And you know how I am. I fell in love with her idea and asked if I could 'steal' it. Of course, she said YES.

But of course, when I pitched the idea to my husband he was much less excited than me. He told me that we could start demolition as soon as I finished about 100 other unfinished projects around the house. I told him it was a deal as long as I only finished projects that I didn't have to spend money on.

The last 2 days I have been BUSY! A little caulk here, some paint touchup's there. Don't forget the trim!

Last night I showed him all of my progress- he was very impressed. Of course, I was only halfway through the finishing process. However, he was sold and we started demolition.

The coolest thing about this new project is that it should cost us less that $10 to finish. And once you see what we did and what we DIDN'T spend- you're going to be AMAZED!

Although, at the rate I finish projects it may be 2012 before you see the "AFTER" pictures!

JUST KIDDING! (Geez, Gilbert would kill me!) :o)

And my house isn't the only thing getting a re-model........

Hello? Before pictures? And what else is getting remodeled???????

P.S. Greg is back to thinking he might paint the cabinets himself. But if he changes his mind AGAIN, I think he will agree to give you the cabinet doors. :)
