Yesterday was a weird, not so good day. It was the 13th....but a Wednesday. It started out with my mom and I going to my cabinet man's workshop to pick out hardware. I had this weird feeling that maybe he wasn't making everything we thought he was. So I asked him about drawers and he said he didn't know he was making drawers, he thought just drawer fronts!!!! AHHHHH! Let me go back and explain....as you can see in previous pictures, we kept half the kitchen and tore out the other. But the drawers weren't so sturdy, so we were just going to have all new drawers made for everything. He had made drawers for all the new stuff, but not the old. I kinda panic a little because the cabinets are going in Monday and we would of had no drawers, but he said he would take care of it. whoosh! But then I had to call Brian and break the news....which means more $$$$$$. Lesson learned, you gotta make sure you communicate and say exactly what you want!
But I did get to see all the doors and drawer fronts....and I was very pleased!

I really wanted a simple style for the cabinets, so we went for shaker style. I love them!
Here is the hardware I chose
It's pretty modern, but what the heck, we are young!
Back to the bad day.....
A house in my neighborhood caught on fire and burned!!!!! It was horrible. I felt so bad for the couple and a little guilty for standing there and watching their house burn. I would of taken a picture but I thought that was a little disrespectful. You can read about it
HERE.
Then I decided to clean our toilets (they were pretty nasty after sitting there for a few years) so I ran over to Rite Aid to grab a few supplies. I guess it was close to closing time, but the doors were unlocked so I went in. I got the few things I needed and then......ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THEY LOCKED THE DOOR!!!! They didn't know I was in there!!!! I ran into the lady that was still there (I think i scared her) and she wouldn't let me buy the stuff I needed! bad day....
After I got back to my parents, I was washing my face for bed....and I stepped into the shower to grab my face wash (I didn't realize Brian had taken a shower and the floor was wet) and I slipped! My left foot went right out from underneath me and I landed on my right knee and the rest of my right leg was behind me. Not the best position to land it. I must of screamed REALLY loud because my mom and Brian were right there before I knew it! I was also crying like a baby (which I think kinda freaked Brian out, I'm not a crier and he had never seen me like that before). It really hurt.....and I spent the rest of the horrible day like this....

Two ice packs! It really could of been

My aunt sent me your blog so that I could see the work for myself. I'm one of the granddaughters of the elderly couple who lived here for years and years. It looks absolutely amazing!! I'm so glad that it went to people who care so much and are making changes for the better. Please keep up the good work and have tons of fun with it! It looks like you already are. :)
