window seat

Alright.

I need to document our home plans somewhere, so I don't forget and have a place to reference.

This is the place.

Well. We have big simple plans for the kitchen.

I have been told by numerous people to leave the tiled floor alone. Depending on how it all looks in the end, I may.

We are painting the cabinets. I wanted to stain them because I thought it would look nicer and have better resell value, but then I got some advice that there is no difference in resell value and staining is a lot easier to mess up and have it show. So we are painting them a brown/black. Hopefully soon, like within a month. :)

Then we are tiling the counter tops with granite tiles. This, from what I have heard, is going to be a big project. Luckily my dad knows exactly what he is doing, and so does Jason's brother so I am hoping with their help we can get it done in a couple days, probably in the summer.

Then when that is done, we will be adding a stainless steel back splash like this one. Normally this would cost a lot, but we got a tip on where to get it for a couple hundred so I am pretty stoked about that, if I decide thats what I want. There is still a huge part of me that would rather do one like this. Jason is worried it would get dated and old fast, so we will see.

One day, maybe next year, I want to build a window seat in the front room. Like this one.

To go here.

This window is just crying for a window seat. The window goes down too low to put a console table, and that would be weird to put a chair, so a window seat is it! I have dreams of our kids jumping on the window seat waiting for dad to come home. :D

well, we got the house today! Keys and all.

Its ours.

We will be taping, painting, cleaning and whatever else until its done.

Then we will be packing, moving, unloading and unpacking until its all done.

Then I will have a house. a home.

Ah.

Then we will be buying couches for my front room, which I am all too excited about. :)

I will post on that when they come.

I am a home-owner. Weird.
