A little Norwegian doll... 4 months

This little love travelled 1/2 way around the world for her first photoshoot!  She is a perfect model with a variety of beautiful expressions - I loved this session!  I also met all 4 generations in a second shoot on location at Auntie's house.  It was so beautiful to see all the love this extended family has for this sweet little bunny!

Our kitchen seems so BIG now!

Maybe it's just because there's nothing in it!  But now that the wood floor is installed and the cabinets go all the way up to the ceiling, the kitchen just seems really BIG!

The granite is in on the back counter tops and we LOOOOOOVE it!  Wow... so much prettier than we imagined!  This is granite is called Delicatus...

Now, for the laundry room... The cabinet doors still need to be installed, but I'm in love with the color in here and what do ya think about my little chandelier?  It's a little happy accent all for me :)  We also had risers built with basket storage underneath.  Now I don't have to get on my knees to empty the dryer!

Here's my pretty pantry.  I love it just like this.  I don't want to fill it up with a bunch of clutter.  I have clearance to move our stuff back in, but I just can't do it!

The Bones...

Glitz and glam went right out the window this past week as the team dug down into the bones of the kitchen.

See the green light in this image?  When I take pictures in my kitchen, I have to adjust my camera settings to balance this green light - and if I forget, I have some work to do in Photoshop to correct it...

BUH-BYE green light!

Yep!  That's dirt.  We moved the plumbing a little to accommodate the new island and sink.

We all got the biggest kick out of watching Javier work on stilts.  He's smoothing my ceiling!

Warm light and smooth texture :)  Next up... here's how I'm keeping up with the dishes... oh, my beautiful new bathroom!

Today was very exciting... cabinets arrived!  It's like furniture for your kitchen!

At the end of the day today, here's what I'm lookin at... and yes, I DID rip out white cabinets to put in new white cabinets!  Don't judge me ;) I just LOVE white kitchens!
