Home Improvement Projects!!!!

For the past few weeks we have been doing a lot of home improvement projects. We are trying to grow some new grass in a huge part of our lawn, we decided to put up a tire swing for the kids and a hammock for Ryan and me to relax in, and the biggest one yet has been refinishing all of our kitchen cabinets. I decided to paint them an off white and antique them - and I absolutely LOVE THEM. It is like we have a new kitchen. Now of course I want to paint my kitchen walls red, get new flooring, and new countertops - all in due time I guess. But for now, we are really enjoying our kitchen. It took us a week and a half of painting non-stop to get them done. Thanks to my mom and my sister-in-law, Tami, who watched my kids and my mom who helped paint, I was able to do it so quickly - you guys are amazing. Ryan also had the week off, so he helped me do a lot of it. Here are a few before and after photos of the kitchen.
