Be sure to join us for Happy Homemaker Monday and link up with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom
Our weather has turned pretty perfect in my book. High 40’s and low 50’s at night with mid 70’s during the day. Rain has also returned to the Pacific North West and the rain has helped tamp down the fires, ash and smoke in our area.
AWESOME NEWS the train is approaching the station on this overwhelming Eagles trip I’ve been on. My attitude is much better and I think things will iron themselves out with those causing the drama that the rest of us has had to live in.
It looks like we’ll be reopening as early as Wednesday. Today and tomorrow are a bunch of small finish projects and a little shopping to replenish the fresh produce. A friend and I will be preparing the first BIG meal which I consider an honor and privilege after all my hard work.
Peach yogurt and coffee before I’m off to meet with the plumber (AGAIN). We thought all was well, but the left side of the sink leaks since they hooked it up.

These are the before, during and after photos of what I’ve been doing this past 6-8 weeks. We went from a plan to change the linoleum and replacing the cabinets to gutting out EVERYTHING including a bit of the sub-floor due to rot which we found after removing 4 layers of peel and stick tiles and old linoleum, removing 4 layers of interior walls and re-framing the walls etc… after the water main break and subsequent additional breaks. In a weird way the water line breaks were a godsend as they “forced”/”allowed” us to do things right and bring them up to code.
Wow, your renovations are impressive! Have a great week and enjoy your Eagles time
Thank you so much! It truly was a labor of love. Hope you had a GREAT week.
Hello my Lovely!
So happy to see that temps have come down and it’s a lovely time of season there again! And the kitchen remodel looks absolutely amazing!! What a lot of work that was – geesh!!
Love all of your fun inspirations and that wine chart is so perfect for someone like me! Lol Blessings on your week ahead xoxo
Oh how I’m loving the feel of fall in the mornings especially.Thank you! We had such a small budget to work with even with insurance, but because the old stuff was so old they depreciated it sooooooo much and didn’t cover many things that needed to be brought to code along the way. I’m off to do the last minute things before we reopen at 2PM today! I promise to get around to visit more now 😀 Have a WONDERFUL week yourself.
The kitchen remodel looks fantastic! What a lot of work you put into that, you should be proud! Glad things are settling down for you. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!

Your kitchen looks amazing! And SO does that hummingbird cake! yum!!! I hope you have a great week ahead!
Thanks, and oh how I wish it was MY kitchen that was remodeled 😀 but someday soon it will be. For now I’m just happy the Eagles can reopen today. Have a great week too.
