This is the house that WE built...

Ok, ok we did not build our house, but you know when you make something or build something and you just feel so dang proud? That is how Koby and I are feeling (I'm pretty sure Koby is feeling this way anyway:)) after one of our weekend projects. See if you can spot the difference in these photos.





Can you see it? Our counter tops were horrible. White with fork marks and some chips and SO easy to stain. I did not like them from the moment we moved in. Koby was looking around at stuff and found a counter top kit. You sand, wash, paint, spray, sprinkle, let dry (12 hours), scrape, sand, vacuum, paint, let dry (48 hours), and you are done! It was a lot more hard labor than Koby had anticipated, but we love the results! Don't worry I didn't make him do all the work, but I definitely didn't do the amount he did. Koby also replaced all the door knobs and light fixtures in our house from gold to brushed nickel. It looks so nice!! We had enough of the counter top stuff leftover so we did our upstairs small bathroom counter top as well.




Oh, and this is what Emi looks like when she chooses what she wears! LOL!! She even posed herself:)



This is what I look like 6 months or 27 weeks pregnant! I know I look so big, at least I feel like I look so big!! Not my favorite pic of myself but it will have to do:)
