I followed you over from Mona...Oh, my GOODNESS!<br /><br />I followed you over from Mona's, because your comment was right above mine, and we've been in Kitchen Mode for a couple of months, now. I told her in the comment that you and I must be Kitchen Twins, but oh, how wrong I was----after seeing your work and demolition and changes and all the months that your Sweetie has been working so hard, and all the other changes and happenings in your life---I sound like a whiny baby, fussing about walking over boxes and lugs and bags strewn about since April.<br /><br />Oh. My. What an undertaking you've undertooken, and how absolutely marvelous the results. Talk about a Jack of all Trades---does he cook and sky-dive and teach Sanscrit on the side? I've never seen an ordinary person go into every facet of a "build" with so much talent and knowledge. My Dad "built houses" and did renovations, but always had a crew of helpers for the plumbing and painting, etc. <br /><br />Chris has worked tirelessly (we're quite some bit older than you two) with all the peripheral things---lining the back walls behind the cabinets with shower-liner, because it's a second kitchen in the basement, and then setting neat panels of it over the cabinets after they were put in, for they've been in for three weeks, and no countertops yet, plus we have guests coming for a week on Saturday. And when we visit, she and I COOK. <br /><br />I've so enjoyed looking in on all your work and progress---so impressive I'm just stunned---and hope you'll have a look at our little kitchen---all Sweet-n-Low packet pink, and bright white. We even chose the same fridge---mine in white, with no ice-maker, since I've had a little under-the-counter model for about fifteen years. <br /><br />Oh. My. Don't know when I've been so impressed by anything a blogger is doing. Wow.<br /><br />rachel @ LAWN TEARachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-82334389190162643882015-06-03T04:41:42.682-05:002015-06-03T04:41:42.682-05:00Hi Rebecca, I've been following you on faceboo...Hi Rebecca, I've been following you on facebook, but it's so good to see you back on your beautiful blog. I love all the progress you have made and can't wait for the final reveal! Please promise lots of pics afterward, even if you only move the soap dish~ha ha! I, for one, will love seeing them for a long time to come. and if I were you, I would be sleeping, eating, bathing, working, and playing in this kitchen 24/7 until it finally sunk in that your kitchen was is not just a dream!<br />Good work, AGP man!<br />Judy Ann Lincicumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02916354353800372992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-37391874095393906372015-06-02T11:27:44.026-05:002015-06-02T11:27:44.026-05:00Rebecca that is amazing!!!

I have thought of you so often over the last 18 months when I took a sabbatical from the blog world and decided to re-evaluate my life and goals for the future. So much had fallen apart for me and I needed to find my way back to church and reconnect with all the sweet people I had once worshiped with. My sister would often quote to me from Glaphre's book (which you so kindly sent to me long ago) and it would remind me that all things are possible with the Lord's help and friendship! I guess I had lost some of my faith in His love for me and I needed to rediscover that Love! I am so happy to find you healthy and happy and I look forward to stopping by more often and seeing what you two are up to in the coming months!<br />Love Tina xoMarguerite (Tina) Smith Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654002122173967940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-11777926606789523592015-06-02T08:00:12.208-05:002015-06-02T08:00:12.208-05:00Dear Rebecca,

Life is filled with challenges and painful times but we move on with the Lord's help. Your new kitchen is going to be fabulous. I love a white kitchen! I have had my heart set on doing over my oak kitchen {in white} but two years ago I hurt my back and so I am no longer able to do those things. No more painting for me unfortunately. Very disappointed! My hubby is not a handy man so I have to rely on others to do the work. Now we are thinking very seriously of downsizing so perhaps in our next place I'll get my white kitchen. I'm very happy you stopped by today. It was really lovely to hear from you again. Take care. <br /><br />Blessings and hugs,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-19346141173460174252015-06-01T17:34:37.603-05:002015-06-01T17:34:37.603-05:00I love the story about your husband's schoolin...I love the story about your husband's schooling and how that helped him get his new job.

My favorite things are those slats you keep your plates in and that decorative scrolling thing above your light fixture. It's the details that really make things lovely - and your home is just lovely!

Since our last contact, we have moved to TN and without jobs. My husband is being contracted by a sales company but his salary is half what it was. He got a severance package, but it will only last a few weeks. He had a small retirement fund but surely don't want to dabble into that. No one wants to hire 55 year old with no education even with years of experience. Pray for us. Glad things are looking up for ya'll. <br /><br />White Lace and Promiseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17597921659943106119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-50104252040971774442015-06-01T13:21:36.194-05:002015-06-01T13:21:36.194-05:00Wow, so much work, but it will turn out so beautif...Wow, so much work, but it will turn out so beautiful.
