It's been a while yet again since I have posted. We have been working in our yard and at home a lot in the past week.
First of all, for the past two weeks, we have been on a mission to find a new dining room table. We only have a small dining area, so we had the hardest time finding the perfect table. Our current table was glass-top with metal chairs. Lily has ran into it so many times not seeing the glass on the table, and it was really hard for her to sit there and eat comfortably in her booster seat since she doesn't like her high chair and refuses to sit in it.
We searched in 3 cities at every store possible. Our problems included everything from size, height of the tables (love the pub height, but too tall for our house), chair cushions, color of the wood, etc.. We also could not find a table that had matching bar stools. We finally found barstools at one store and a cherry table at another store that match perfectly. Everything was delivered yesterday and I love it! We have always had a round table but this square works great. I think the room is almost bigger! I will take pics tonight and post them tomorrow. We are changing our kitchen theme from grapes-wine theme to a Tuscan theme with oranges, reds, and greens. We found the perfect picture to center our theme around at Kirkland's and I found matching placemats at Trees N Trends, so I'm exciting about changing up. We also have new countertops ordered and they should be installed within the next month. Our current countertops are the originals and our house is 40 years old, so it's time for a change. We have been ready since we bought our house to change them.
I will be posting lots of before and after pics, too and sure to keep everyone updated!
(PS: I cannot write a blog without mentioning Lily. Her latest accomplishment for this week is an embarrassing one..When we picked her up last week from her babysitter, she kept poking me on my chest saying "Boobies." I almost died, but it was so funny. She is still doing it to my mom, me, her dad, and even herself. Not sure where she learned it, but my, my, what comes out of their mouths.)

Cleaning out and Changing up

Did you get your counters in Wabo? I need to get new counters for my house, but I've only used Jones Co. people, so I am out of the loop, so to speak.
Jancie is saying "boobs", but she picked it up from me because I told her what they were. She doesn't point them out, though!
Mr. Bonner never even crossed my mind! I guess that I just associated him with cabinets and not counters.
Did you order Formica?? That's what I have now and love it. Are the counters going to come pre-fabricated or will he put down a new base and glue the Formica on? My carpenter did the latter, but I really don't know what the big difference is.
Also, I was in Lowe's today and saw a rug that may be perfect for your new kitchen. It's one of those cushy rugs and has a rooster and lots of red and gold accents. It was under $10, and looks very Tuscan. You may already have rugs, but I just wanted to let you know. They had several hanging up by all of the carpet samples.
