Painted Brick Reveal
We finally have some sense of normalcy back on our lives so I thought I would share a little reveal with ya’ll. No, it’s not our kitchen! Half our furniture is still in the carport and our house is a disaster but we have what looks like a kitchen {we’ve actually been able to cook in it!}. We’ve still got a long way to go before it’s ready-ready to reveal, though. Over two months ago, I shared that Cory and I decided to stay put and make our house work for us, but making our house work for us meant some pretty drastic updates. Well, one of the first of those…

Cory was so sweet and had dinner waiting for me. I was almost too tired to eat hibachi but I suffered through.

It seems like nothing has gone back up as smoothly as it came down and there really hasn’t been much I can do to help. My suggestions are always shot down- mainly because they’re always “who can we call? Your dad? Vince? John, the next door neighbor? He was a brick mason, he should know about plumbing, right?!” Apparently, those aren’t the suggestions he wants to hear. After 6 long weeks of renovating our kitchen, it finally happened.
