Now on to this weeks party!
What would be a HUGE help and encourage more comments not just from me but others as well would be for everybody to take off their required verification codes for leaving a comment. This seems to take just a few seconds of time but when you have to do it on 30 or more blogs it takes up a TON of time. Last week most everybody had turned off their Word Verification which made it so much easier for me to stop by everybody's links! Thank you!
READ THE RULES PLEASE!:)
Now on to this weeks party! As with all parties there are the normal rules. You must link back to From My Front Porch To Yours in your THT POST. Just common courtesy.

Also NO MORE linking up to your own link parties. I am seeing more and more link ups of just people promoting their own linky parties. I know it takes time to go back and make a separate post to join the party but it is just the polite thing to do. If you find your post deleted it is not because I am a meany, I just have to make sure the rules are being followed. You can save some of your posts for the following weeks party!Please only link up new posts and not posts that you linked up the week before.Also be sure to visit at least the link before you and after you to just say Hi! It makes partying all the more fun and remember if your link has had the most visits you will get featured on Tuesdays! If you are new around here I would love it if ya become a follower!:)

Kitchen Reno Update- A Family Affair

It has been crazy around here. My parents came into town to celebrate Oldest's 9th birthday.

While they were here mom and I of course had to go shopping which led us to one of my favorite antique malls. Since we were there I decided to go ahead and buy the paint for our kitchen cabinets. I was originally going for Annie Sloan Old White and Country Gray but after mom and I looked at the samples we decided to come home with Old Ochre and Versailles. I over bought on the Versailles though!:( It looks so much more green at home than it did at the shop. I am hoping I can maybe exchange the one unopened can for another color but I am not sure that will be allowed. 

After bringing home different paint colors mom helped me take off the paint I had already started to apply to the bottom cabinets while I worked on painting other areas.

She wanted to see one of the doors done before she left so this is what I came up with.

I am still working on the oven area. Eventually it will get redone because our long term goal is to purchase a micro/oven combo and have it installed in this space. 

After my parents left The Nana & The Papa came. We needed The Papa's expertise on just how to create what we had envisioned for the new range hood.

After debating on just what type of arch we wanted The Nana & The Papa made a sweeping arch template and cut it out of some printer paper so we could see just how it would look.

Next up we put together some bead board slats and attached them to a wood panel with liquid nails. 

Here is the beadboard panel in place and the newly made arch stained before I painted it.

This is where I am at today. I have all of the new tile grouted around the stove area. Yesterday,I worked on painting the wall above the cabinets and the cabinets themselves. As you can see the bottom of the cabinets are being left original. Mom and I decided that it made the kitchen feel taller with just the top cabinets painted. We will see if they remain unpainted but as of right now I am loving it. I can't wait to show y'all the completed stove hood but it will have to wait till I get cabinets around it done!;) 

 Too bad I can't teach our Savannah to paint!;)
