Sorry for the delay

O. M. G. !
It's been over 6 months? Already?
I kinda knew I was postponing for a long time but I cannot believe it took me so long to come back here.

BUT! I had some very good reasons to be too busy to write.

Doubled the size of my house by adding a second floor. 

Completely changed my kitchen

Changed my living room into a hall/stairway (and my bedroom into a living room)

And started a new health and wellness business.

 

Let's not forget that I still do graphic design, crochet, paint, make jewellry - and take care of three handsome-full-of-life-little-boys...

So... do you forgive me ;) ? I promise I won't leave for that long again, anymore.

What about you? What have you been up to since July?

 

New Kitchen

We've been working on the kitchen since April. I finally took pictures of the 'after' part so I'm able to show (and appreciate myself!) the great difference a change of color can make. We took off the "beautiful" wallpaper, wood stripe, country-style lamp and cabinet doors handles, replaced with new ones and changed the yellow and red for a less agressive grey. We also treated the cabinets with a special transformation kit and the result is fabulous.

I love my new kitchen! It's brighter, fresher... Now if only it could help me cook better ;)! Also, the computer is not in the dining room anymore - it went back to the office since it became an office again (after being my mother in law's, then my husband's and each of my son's room for a total of more than a year!)

We'll absolutely need to change the curtains, but I cannot find anything that I like. I'm still hesitating on the accent color. Orange? Turquoise? Lime Green? What do you think?

Next step: second floor. I know, we don't have any. But we're going to get one very soon. Incha'Allah.

Were you looking for me?

I was there.

Scraping off that ugly wallpaper.

Taking off cupboards doors to refresh the whole thing.

Getting rid of that charming rustic lamp.

Picking up brand new colors for the kitchen/dining room.

Nothing will be ready before end of April, but I'll make sure to post photos of my brand new kitchen whenever it's done! Until then, if you're looking for me...

Before & After

A new bathroom, because Husband decided it was a must.

So this is before. And there's after!

 

Before and After

That was before.

And after. But before.
And after. And that's so much better.
