Paint: $65; Valance $14.99; Cabinet Hardware: $50 Kitchen "remodel": Priceless

Here are some before & after pics of the kitchen project. This has taken me forever and it's not *quite* finished yet (the flooring needs to be put in and also there is some touch-up work that needs to be done on the painting) but it is close and looks about a MILLION times better. My parents arrived last night and were SHOCKED at the difference. It was very fun to see their surprised reactions. My Mom doesn't even mind the floor as much any more (um, I do). Hopefully this will make life in the R&B kitchen more peaceful and calm and will make the house easier to sell down the road.

Now to recap - Here's the kitchen before:

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
