Well folks, it's getting closer. All that's left is the entry way by the garage and some new wall plates and touch up paint here and there. Then I need to paint the door by the table and hang a Roman shade. Oh, and I ordered a frosted glass door for the pantry that won't be in until the end of the month so maybe I'm not almost done, lol!

It doesn't seem like much but all I've done is paint our island, hung some new light fixtures and painted the walls. Mrs. RG has done A LOT of it herself, especially the entry way, which is not suitable for sharing pics just yet, she'd hurt me real bad if I did :P

Lot's of decorating, farmhouse style stuff, a little craft work on her part, building the faux window shutters and such. I'm proud of her! She doesn't need me around, she can get things done!

Here's a few pics, I'm proud of her so please excuse my bragging on her, lol!




Her coffee bar that she wanted, to free up counter space


Barnyard Selfie


Her window and shutters craft. She's good with a miter saw and a brad nailer!



When the whole shebang is done, I'll share the final pics of her other work as long as y'all don't mind. If any of the other gents or ladies on here want to show your projects, I love that kind of stuff and would like to see it!

Great Job Steph!!  oh, and you too Jason.... :D
Looks like a professional decorator was hired.
We like the lighting, that's something we need to work on in our kitchen.

Thanks for the compliments y'all. I must admit that I am not a huge fan of "country" decorating, I like a more modern theme but happy wife = happy life so I let her do her thing. With that said, I think she did a nice job with it and I like it for the most part I suppose.

This was move in day back in 2004. There were all white appliances that were moved out to the garage on this day, Lowe's delivered the new stuff just before this pic was taken.



This was after the linoleum was replaced with tile, notice the fruit motif :P



We have put this poor kitchen through hell, I hope she's done with it finally, lol!

It has been this way for a 1000 years.
