Peni and I lived with my Mom for about 4 years until we decided it was time to get a place of our own. My Mother has helped our little family out with so much and words can't express our appreciation for everything she has helped us with along the way.
House hunting sucked! We were lucky enough to get the house tax credit. Peni and I told my Mom when we moved out of her place that if we qualified for the tax credit, we would remodel her kitchen. We know she uses her kitchen a lot and knew it needed some upgrades. THANKS OBAMA! :)
After paying off some bills we were able to start w/ Mom's kitchen Makeover. Wish we had enough to hire someone, but because of our budget we had to do it ourselves. It's always good to spend less anyways!
Two weeks ago my Mom's kitchen looked like this..........
LOVELY AYE?
Before we started we thought it wouldn't be to bad! OMG! The guys were working and so my sisters and I had to put on our dirty shoes and get things done while the men were at work. We thought that ripping out the old tile was it for the floor. The floor underneath the tile was OLD and needed to be replaced to. We ripped it all out. Feeeeew! Thanks to the guys who showed us girls there was a easier way. hahaha! They give us a look afterwords. As if.....Give us a break, we're ladies NOT men! hahaha! We sure had to put Men shoes on the past couple of weeks! hahaha!We replaced a few of the walls and moved one wall back to give my Mom more space.
It was deff the hardest thing I've had to help with in a while and it was well WORTH IT. The kitchen it almost complete. Just a few things here and there....
Two weeks without a kitchen? Imagine that? :( Thanks to everyone who helped make Mom's kitchen BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE IT! She LOVES IT! :)
