Welcome to my Bi-Annual blog post!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last time I checked in we'd just returned from our Colorado vacation, since then life's been a Texas size roller coaster ride!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the midst of it all we finally finished our kitchen re-do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been almost a two year odyssey that began with this <span style="font-size: large;">sink</span>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Let's go back a few years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we moved into our house the kitchen looked like this.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I was especially fond of the powder blue counters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's the story of how we went from this......<br />

All done ourselves and on a very tight budget.<br />

Two years ago Santa bought me a farmhouse sink and butcher block counters from <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/kitchen/choice/S1R1C4/" target="_blank">Ikea</a>.</div>
<div align="center">
Finally I could kiss those baby blue counter tops good-bye.</div>
<div align="center">
Because of money & time we did the remodel in stages.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With 5 people in our family the galley kitchen was cluttered and tight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought by removing the soffits and upper cabinets the kitchen would feel big, light and less cluttered.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a little scary going from cabinets to open shelving, after all this is real life, not Pinterest.</div>

I waited years to replace the built in oven and cook top with a free standing range. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The cost was not in our budget so we opted for the double oven instead of the confection/oven combo, that saved us around $300. So we sold the old stuff on Craigslist & bought this beauty when it went on sale. </div>

I am so in love with range hoods. I devoted an entire pin board to them!</div>

I knew I wanted a nice fat ledge to display my silver trays. Kevin took my wish list and built a beautiful custom range hood.</div>

Open shelving sounded good but when we really started mapping it out we decided to anchor each end with a glass fronted cabinet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could store glasses and dishes there & have fun styling the shelves.</div>

I am a very lucky woman to have someone who can take my ideas & make them reality.<br />
They usually turn out even better than I imagined. <br />

The next step was putting up a pretty white subway tile back splash. We went back & forth deciding on grout color and tile pattern but settled on white & bright. <br />
(Can't find a picture of the installation)<br />

My favorite element in the room is this light Kevin made from a piece of old dairy equipment.<br />
I'm not sure what it's original function was but now it's an awesome pendant! <br />
He antiqued the cord with black paint and used the base of an old lamp to mount it to the ceiling.<br />

We had a 35 inch space to fill after removing the double ovens. <br />
My first idea was some kind of industrial cart, but after searching flea markets I realized they were out of our price range. So I did what any good junker would do, I shopped my garage & shed. <br />
This cabinet is exactly 34 inches. Plus the shelves slide out, perfect for pots, pans & even wine!<br />
The best part was the price, free off the curb. </div>

Above that cabinet hangs one of my favorite finds <span style="font-size: large;">ever</span>. <br />
This beautiful Gothic style cupboard was a display piece at <a href="http://facebook.com//LoneStarAntiques" target="_blank">Lonestar Antique Mall</a>. Every time I went I'd check the booth and see if it was for sale. One day I asked the manager if she'd call the vendor and ask if they'd consider selling. It must have been my lucky day because they said yes! <br />
It just goes to show you, just because it says's NFS ask anyway!</div>

Now it holds my spices.</div>

Hello friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We just returned home from a fabulous 2 week trip to Colorado & Wyoming. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First stop on our trip was my cousin Morgan's Colorado mountain wedding. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She met her mountain man Pete in Steamboat Springs where they teach high school, ski and climb mountains.</div>

So who is the Mistress of Junk?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No <a href="http://bethleintz.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Beth</a>, she's not a dominatrix.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She doesn't carry a whip, but you wouldn't want to go up against her at an estate sale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She loves anything old, has been know to pick things up off the curb & cannot pass a garage sale without a peek.</div>

Jenn and I met a few years ago at one of my 'garage sales'. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We bonded instantly and began shopping and selling together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing that really needed organizing was my seam binding. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've tried everything from boxes to hanging them over my desk, but they always end up a jumbled mess.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Keeping things vertical is always a good way to save space so I decided to build up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dug through a box of lamp parts to find a base & rod that worked together.</div>

We couldn't get out of town this time, but we brainstormed ideas for our 'stay-cation'.<br />
Some items on our list were:<br />
Zoo, <span style="font-size: x-large;">go see Oz</span>, park, rock climbing, <span style="font-size: x-large;">eat bacon</span> (Owen's), <br />
museum &<span style="font-size: x-large;"> make pizza</span>.<br />

I taught my <em>Winter Wool Cottage.</em></div>

Since this was my first home workshop I didn't advertise, just word of mouth. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That way if it was a huge flop I could do damage control. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it turned out great, & my plans for monthly classes are underway!</div>

I orignially wanted a commerical style stainless hood cover.<br />
But they were well over our budget, even at Ikea.<br />
Plan 2 was to build our own. <br />
After spending hours on Pintrest & in my inspiration folder we came up with our own design.<br />
The black hood cover came from Sears scratch & dent.<br />
It was originally $425 marked down to $70.<br />

And there it is surrounded in bead board & painted crisp white. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I <span style="font-size: x-large;">love</span> the way it turned out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so lucky that my husband can do anything & is willing to take chances.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's going to be so fun styling the ledge, for now I'm liking the silver tray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We put a fresh coat of paint on the lower cabinets, new hardware & stained the butcher block counters dark. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I took these pictures we've done more, but I think I'll hold off on posting them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When it's all finished I'll do a big kitchen reveal.</div>

As always we're doing the work ourselves on a tight budget. </div>

Fix up existing bottom cabinets</div>

Sand & stain butcher block counters a darker color</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Install white subway tile</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Find funky old piece for vacant spot left by oven</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hang shelves </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
DIY vent hood for over range </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(have you priced those things???)</div>

Add new stainless appliances like this baby below.</div>

I made my wreath using a deer rack (is that what you call them?) that belonged to my Father & a fake wreath from Hobby Lobby. Then I went crazy stuffing evergreen, magnolia, pheasant feathers & anything else I could find in it. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I spent about 3 years picking up wool sweaters from thrift stores & felting them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Someone gave me a couple dozen very old & damaged Pendelton work shirts. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I felted those too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made a camping quilt with some of them, I blogged about it <a href="http://tarnishedandtattered.blogspot.com/2011/02/redneck-snowsuit.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>

(on a side note: I can't believe how good my pictures were in that post. What happened? Could it be the duct tape holding my camera together is a bad thing?)<br />
