Since we're having a hard time re-financing and realize we are going to be "stuck" in this townhouse longer than we originally thought, we decided to make some small improvements hoping to increase the value of the home a little bit. We decided to start with the kitchen, since kitchens have one of the bigger returns when selling (along with bathrooms... we watch HGTV all the time!) Our kitchen was very basic with laminate counters and just looked blah... so we decided to start by putting new hardware on the cabinets. After about the 5th trip to IKEA, we finally bought them! Here's a look at the bare cabinets:
I never knew Albert was such a handyman!
Isn't he cute? :)
Finally done!
Now Albert will know which side to open the cabinets!
Our next steps are to get granite countertops, put up a backsplash and eventually stainless steel appliances! We went to a home show with Mom and John when they were up here to visit and found someone to install the granite. They have measured our kitchen and we went to a huge warehouse and picked out the very slab they will use! How cool! We're hoping to get it done early May!**********************************
We got new pillows in our living room. Tried to add just a "splash" of green to the room. We will probably re-paint the kitchen more of a green like the pillow instead of the teal that it is now.

Albert wasn't the only one trying hard to open the cupboard doors, Mom
