Stacked Coin Baby Quilt

23 Aug

$110 Kitchen Redesign

30 Jul

When JD and I purchased out house last year we had BIG plans for the kitchen.  Honestly, the entire thing needs to be gutted.  The cabinets are old and shoddy and though the counters and floors are newer, they are crooked and just not our style.  So when we moved in, we did NOTHING to the kitchen, ...
