Kitchen: Before

Here’s what our kitchen looked like at our walkthrough - before we got possession of the place and took a sledgehammer to it…

Kitchen: Before

The previous owners left the place in great shape – good bones and everything – but we had a different vision for our home…inspired by the concept of Ein Gedi that Mark Driscoll from Mars Hill Church in Seattle talked about in his Peasant Princess series.

More before-and-afters to come this week, promise.

P.S.  I highly recommend the Peasant Princess it to any married or soon-to-be-married couple – I’m sure that it will revolutionize your relationship as it did ours!

I just wanted to say that received my gorgeous tea towel from The Near Future today and it is lovelier than I imagined. And they came so quickly too, from the land Down Under. Thanks, Nicole & Julia!

P.S. I also love the concept of afternoon tea. There’s a quaint little shop in Fort Langley that does the most delicious scones with devonshire cream – to die for. Go now, and try their herb and cheese scones as well – they simply melt in your mouth. Super yum.

Tofino sunset

My family and I are going on a little road trip for the first time ever! 9 of us (including my adorable nieces) will be spending the weekend in Victoria and Tofino. My mom is super excited to see Butchart Gardens…then we’ll drive to a little resort waiting for us in Tofino at Fourteen Thirty One Cox Bay.  It’ll be a blast! Photos to come when we return.

And hopefully by that time, our shower will have been tiled and we can finally move in to our master bedroom. It would definitely be a pleasant surprise if God orchestrates it that way :)

Kitchen Counter...finally!

Yay! The countertop and kitchen sink have *just* been installed! Here’s a photo that Izz sent me just five minutes ago…now we finally have a kitchen! We’re quite sick of eating out and I can’t wait to whip up something fresh and healthy again.

Now to install our open shelving :)

We’re moving today and I’ve been making, filling and sealing cardboard boxes since 7:30 in the morning. Cardboard cuts are so much worse than paper cuts. I wonder if a person can die of millions and millions of paper cuts? A question once pondered by my friend Denise and I back in high school – good times, good times.

Izz and I can’t wait to actually live in our apartment even though we’ll have to survive without a kitchen countertop, sink, stove, dishwasher, ensuite shower and master bedroom…haha

All things in good time, I suppose. I’ll try to take some pictures of the place tonight, but in the meantime check out these goodies from Cardboard Safari. We got Buck Jr. and the Leaf Wreath for our new place. That kind of cardboard I don’t mind handling.
