Ok, this was a pretty long entry, so I'm just going to copy and paste from my personal journal, so there might be some references you don't get unless you've been reading along

boy it wasn't bright and airy when we got here ew gross! there were LAYERS of yellow smoke grime (?) on the windows and the carpet was so worn thin and COVERED in dog hair and stains and grossness. and mold everywhere. we had to re-do everything...so it was awesome the first time the sun came through and the air was clean haha.
oh those kitchen cabinets are my favorite "thrifty" find! we were getting quotes all over town for cabinets. just some lower cabinets to go along those walls. the estimates were INSANE! and one day i was driving back from somewhere and i had just received some good news, and randomly decided to pull ino this one antique store. i walked the whole thing (i was HUGE) and on the last wall, as i rounded the corner, i see these three pieces here. tears well up in my eyes, for real. i look at the price and it was $2,000 with their individual prices added up, but i got the whole set for $1,200...it was amazing! I called my husband trying to hold back tears...cause seriously, we had been trying to figure out what to do with our kitchen for MONTHS and i called squealing "i found it i found it!" and he came by after work with our truck! we had to store them at the in-laws for another two months until it was ready.
man, sorry i'm so long-winded. thanks! i's a hyper day today i can tell!
