Before, After, and In-Between (Ghosts of Projects Pasts)

Crazy #1 here, finally with a post!!!

Intro to me: A 20-something wife and mommy to 3. I love all things crafty. I remember going with my mom to her church craft nights at an early age (like 8 or 10?). I also love all things house-y. When gifted money, 9 TIMES OUT OF 10, I will buy something for my house. And since the age of 5, I dreamed of becoming an Interior Designer. After 1 year of Interior Design at college, I found a dream I wanted even more, with this guy:

(Awesome hubby working on our first project ever- 7 years ago. So young.)

(Amazing hubby now- turning another one of my dreams into a project-come-true.)

I'm so lucky, especially because this man can build just about anything I can scheme up. We bought our first house 7 years ago and have been projecting together ever since.

Now for some photos!

House #1 Kitchen Before

House #1 Kitchen After


Our first house came complete with dark 80's oak and blue/grey formica. This redo was 5 years in the making, with a few in-between versions as well. We were so disgusted at the nasty condition of the kitchen, that we didn't remember to take pictures until we'd already removed the nasty cabinet doors and old appliances.



First, we painted the cabinets white, bought white appliances, and painted the kitchen yellow.

The yellow lasted for about... a day. Then, on to green.



Redo #1
Better for sure, but not quite our style. Time for redo #2.



Much better!

More to come soon. 'Til then, Crazy 1 signing off!

p.s. Don't worry, I did graduate college (in English). Hope I don't have too many typos. :)
