Here are some cabinets

There has been a lot of progress in the kitchen the past week. It helps when there is too much snow and ice on the ground to go out and do anything. Shawn was able to finish all the coats of paint on the walls. We went with the color Jalapeno. Shawn loves it and everyone who has seen it says they like it. It taking me a while but the more I look at it, the more it is growing on me. I'm just so used to all the white walls, this bold color is taking some getting used to.

Saturday, I helped Shawn hold the cabinets in place while he also screwed them into the wall. We couldn't believe that Will was actually letting me do something that wasn't all about holding him!! As long as he sat in his Bumbo where he could watch, he was fine. As each cabinet went up, the more excited we got as to how great they looked. Shawn did an excellent job of putting them up. He likes things perfect and he did a perfect job in deed!!

The cabinets as you walk up the stairs, into the kitchen.

Sunday, he was able to get the moldings and the valance up. He also put the light on the cabinet which will be above the sink. Must have this so I can see those dirty dishes! The glass doors will be right above the sink. We are very happy we chose to do one set of glass doors.

We absolutely LOVE how big and deep the cabinet above the refrigerator is. I can store lots of big things, that I don't need on a daily basis. Just keep the step stool handy!

The cabinet next to the refrigerator is the microwave cabinet. We were not sure about this one, as we hadn't seen it prior to purchasing it. They did not have a display model. We really do like this! It will be great to get the microwave up off of the counter and leave additional space there for something else. Then there is a small cabinet next to it. My goal this week is to clean these cabinets off and start deciding what to put in them!!! It will be great to get some things out of the totes.

Another happening this weekend was the super bowl! Our friends, the Kuck's, came over and watched part of it with us. I have to say, this was the best game in a few years. I'm glad it was close. I loved it that Santonio Holmes had such a great game!! He's the reason I was rooting for the Steelers to win. It was not due to some players on-field behavior! As always, I loved the Budweiser horses in their commercials. They are just such great animals. Career builder had two great commercials. The other one that I liked was the Cheetos...with the woman on her cell being all obnoxious, we've all been around such behavior. Next time, I'll wish for my own flock of birds.

It's another Monday and another week. I hope that you enjoy it. Plus, I am hoping for more above freezing temps to melt more of this ice. Our driveway is like a skating rink. Have a great week!!!!!
