Swimming at Aunt Michelle's

This past weekend we headed for Eastern Washington to surprise my sister on her Birthday and spend some time with my family. We had a great time celebrating with her. The Boys had a great time in the sun and pool!

Peonies From our Garden

This is from our garden in June, my favorite flower, the peony. They are beautiful and smell incredible.

FINISHED!!!

Here is the finished product. I am so happy about how it turned out. Thank you to my husband who is so handy at home projects. He did all the wood trim for me and put the top on. He does such a nice job when he does a project. I did all the painting.

I broke down the cost of doing this kitchen island ourselves.

Here is the breakdown:

1. Finished Remnant Quartz Piece $220
2. Trim $90
3. Paint $21.97
4. Cabinet Hardware $53
5. Antiquing Medium $2.09

For a grand total of: $387.06

For what it's worth, I believe anyone can do this.

Kitchen Island

Here are some pictures of the progress of the kitchen island. It's been a lot of fun!

All that's left to do is antique it, baseboards and hardware.
