My Suburban Cottage

I do not have my dream kitchen. In fact my kitchen is in no way shape or form anything close to my dream kitchen, but I have learned to live with what I got. Like the boys like to say(as taught to them by their cousins), "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit"-words for me to live by in my little suburban cookie cutter home. Todd and I have been working hard to give this place some personality. We have a very tight home improvement budget(like not 30 thousand dollars) and so our changes are small, but hopefully have a big impact. We added knobs and pulls to the kitchen cabinets and I think they look great. Now, before I go any further I have to give my husband a BIG shout out because he did not want to do this little project, but put on a happy face and drilled away at nearly a million(ok-more like 40) cabinets and drawers. He did them perfectly, and I am happy. On to new flooring(to replace white vinyl-gross) and maybe even a new counter top. Just between you and me I would also like all my appliance to cough and die(although not all at the same time) so I can replace them with shiny stainless ones :)
