A sneak-peek.......

.
Goodmorning friends!  - I hope each of you are having a good start to this Valentine's Monday! I am feeling rejuvenated by the warm, spring-like weather and sunshine, praise the Lord! The little ones and I hope to head outside for awhile!

It's been a week now since we returned home from Florida.  We had a wonderful vacation; fabulous weather, relaxation & fun, shopping, beach time, and {of course} great food!   { I must admit, it took me awhile to transition back to VA living, i could totally live down there. 

Any-who, I've wanted to share some sneak-peak pics. of our 'it's-taking-forever' kitchen makeover.  ** I hope to post the big "reveal" this weekend!    Remember? - This is what it originally looked like....


 
Boy, did I have a time picking out a color!!  It took me 3 tries before I was happy.  
*you can see on the above pic., I tried a burnt-orange. {yikes!} 

Here's a peek of what I finally picked....  a light stone, gray.


Wanting to keep this project as cheap as possible, I first used as much [as possible] of the decor. that i already had. Aaand of course I resorted to thrifting, too.  Here are some of the face-lifts I've been working on.....

 I had to make a chalkboard tray!

   
 How I love you spray-paint!


 From scuffed-up silver to classic white!
This pot's ready for a final coat!



Isn't it amazing how a fresh coat of color makes all the difference??! 


Well, that's all folks! I'm excited to share {stage 1} of my new and improved kitchen with you soon!
