What dreams are made of: white kitchens!

Well, hello! It has been a hot minute! I just thought I would stop by and share our newest home project! And when I say "our" I basically mean me because my husband helped in the slimmest way possible because I am a control freak! I am loving how big and bright our new kitchen looks. Well, it is technically the same kitchen, but the espresso cabinets had to go! There is nothing quite like a bright and airy feel in the kitchen!

And remember what it looked like before?

And now...

A COLORFUL room for a COLORFUL boy: Luke's Bedroom

This post has been a year in the making, I am not even kidding. I couldn't find the things I wanted, I couldn't find the 'right' gray, we battled between dinosaurs and animals (which still switch weekly based on the sheets and laundry).... but for everyone that knows Luke in real life, he is such a light and so much fun.

Here is the before (nursery):

Our Master Bathroom: Decorated!

When we first moved into our house, our bathroom was BORING. I am just not a fan of studio lighting and giant mirrors. I had a vision for this room for awhile, and it has been mostly decorated for awhile, but this past week I was finally able to find time to add some hardware to the cabinets. It has added so much dimension to the room as a whole and I am loving it!

Update: Front porch.

In the last month we were able to finally convince Richmond (our builder) to add railing to our front porch. In Colorado, the drop off code is 32.5 inches. Our drop was almost 36 inches. It was dangerous, especially with little kids. At first they were saying it was settling, but it wasn't, it had always been a huge drop off.

Here is the before and after:

Other than our flowers growing a lot, doesn't it look so much better? The whole porch now looks complete! 

Notice the two dead plants, we are also trying to get Richmond to replace those since all they have ever given us are dead plants. We might just bite the bullet and replace them ourselves, but I don't want to let them win, because I know that is what they are banking on.
