~MAKEOVER UPDATE- IF BLOGGER WILL COOPERATE~

 ~BACK DOOR REMOVED~

  

Before I update you on where we are regarding our latest remodeling projects I just have to say this...

After about 100 tries over the past couple of days to make ONE SINGLE LITTLE POST I finally decided to try going through my A Gathering Place Website to see if I could access my blog through my own BLOG BUTTON!  I clicked the LINK and WHAT-DO-YOU KNOW!  It worked and I was FINALLY able to sign in.

Now...we'll see if if this Saturday Post will actually POST!  Hmmmm...

 ~ORIGINAL BACK DOOR SEALED UP~

Also...does anybody have a CLUE as to where our followers went and if we are ever going to get them back?

OK...on to some FUN STUFF!

~MY MR. AGPMan DOING HIS THING~

Well...since we "chatted" last my Mr. AGPMan and I have been VERY BUSY!  I thought today I'd give you an update on where we are with our breakfast room and kitchen remodel!  We are still in the early stages, but everything we've done so far HAD to be done before anything else could be started.

~NEW PANEL-BOARD INSTALLED~

CLICK HERE to and HERE to catch up on past posts and for several "before" pictures!

If you've been following along you know we removed a window seat and installed French Doors and side windows in their place.  Today I'm showing you the pics that were taken while the original backdoor entry/exit was removed and then sealed back up!

~PRIMED AND READY FOR PAINT~

Here you see where the original backdoor use to be.  We matched the existing paneling that came original to the house (and I love) and then primed and painted it to match the paint already in the room!

~SWEET ANTIQUE CUPBOARD~

This charming vintage Pie Safe (or cabinet) was once upstairs in our guest room.  I used it to hold finished pillows, etc. for my website.  I painted her out (she was once sugary pink!) with my favorite COTTAGE WHITE PAINT (from Behr/Home Depot) and I'm loving how she looks standing proudly in her new room.

Why paint over the pink????  

YOU KNOW I LOVE PINK!  Right?

It's just this is our family room and the colors are soft and understated.  When I moved the cabinet in place the PINK stuck out like a sore thumb.  It had to go...

~BEFORE SHOT~

Here's a quick picture of what the room looked like before the French Doors were installed and the original backdoor was still in place!

~MAKEOVER SHOT AGAIN~

I can't tell you how much I LOVE walking in my front door and seeing something OTHER than my back door in front of me!  

CHANGE IS GOOD!

Presently we are STILL trying to decide on flooring.  We know the carpet and tile are coming out we just aren't sure if we are going to go with a tiled kitchen floor or use wood throughout the entire downstairs!

BIG DECISION!

Hope your Saturday was awesome.  I was sad I didn't get to join in PINK SATURDAY!  Maybe if blogger behaves itself :) I can take part next week!

Love to you...
