our kitchen : updates
i’ve been so excited to share what’s been happening with the kitchen renovation for a while, we’re hopefully just about a week out (or maybe even less) from being finished and i couldn’t be more ready to have a kitchen again. we’ve installed the cabinets, the doors and just recently our countertops (which makes the biggest difference!), now it’s the backsplash, toe kicks, shelving, some finishing touches and finally appliances!
it’s crazy how it’s not finished yet, but it’s already become such a special part of our home. we’ve done it up just like we dreamed, and it’s been so exciting to plan future dinner parties and hosting holidays (if my mom ever allows that) and game nights and even just being able to cook breakfast for my family here. like just looking at our big white island, i just picture baking on it with our future babies, and then i swell up. today i’ve teamed up with esurance to talk about home ownership in general and how it’s super fun, but also super scary sometimes.
