Company coming!

April 29, 2010 by Aliesha

We’re busy today getting ready for a visit from our family! Tad’s mom, two sister-in-laws: Angela and Stephanie, two nephews: Brayden and Drew, and niece: Haley are coming to visit! We are so very excited to have them.

I’m in the midst of making a fruit salad at the moment (with fresh-picked local strawberries… mmm). Thought I would update my blog readers as to why I probably won’t be posting until much later today.

Enjoy your Thursday! It is absolutely beautiful here!The blueberry bush in our garden

House Tour: The Other Side of the Kitchen

April 28, 2010 by Aliesha

Curious what the other side of our kitchen looks like? I’ll be honest, back when these photos were taken, this side of the kitchen was a total disaster! Boxes and “stuff” everywhere with no organization whatsoever! But when we came across this bamboo baker’s rack at Aldi (marked down to $22), we knew we had found the solution to our mess. I put the rack together on Monday evening while Tad was making a table. We’re still trying to decide how we’re going to use all the new-found space, but for now at least our beautiful toaster oven has a home!
Plenty of room for other kitchen wares. Ideally, we are going to paint all the paneling and wood trim in our kitchen eventually, so I think the bamboo will look much better when contrasted with crisp white walls behind it!
I love how you can see my (slightly distorted) baby bump in the reflection on the toaster oven! Drawers contain picnic silverware and extra sponges at the moment.
And, lastly, a picture of our…*drumroll please* newly organized broom closet!

So, that’s what I’ve been working on lately.

Table Update

April 28, 2010 by Aliesha

As I announced Monday evening, Tad has been working on making an 8-foot-long dining room table for us!

It is coming along beautifully! He has finished the entire top and is getting ready to attach the legs. Then, all that remains is sanding and painting. We are going to paint it with white semi-gloss paint. I can’t wait to share with you all the finished product! I’m so proud of my hubby.
