Love how you did the journaling strips over the photos! That looks awesome! And oh, wow, your kitchen looks amazing! When we buy a house next year (or later this year) the kitchen will be the most important factor. MUST have me a great kitchen. :D And congrats on finishing it!
Okay.....I really love this LO. The thing I like best is how well you tell the story....and in just 2 pages! Your photos, placed in mirrored locations so clearly tell the story that it does not matter that I cannot read the journaling....But I LOVE that you also journaled the event. I love the alphas you used in your title...and the matting of your photos really make them the "stars" of the page.....as it should be! I often see pages that I think are really beautiful, but after looking at them realize that I barely noticed the photos, as I was so busy admiring the artistry of the page.....which is so NOT why we are scrapping our lives!!! I wouldn't change a thing on this LO, Dawn!
This didn't photograph to well...but, you get the idea.
Oops..I forgot to add the journaling here...so here it is:
Remodeling the kitchen was a full time job done on a part time basis. It took weeks of planning, days of designing, hours of shopping, many nights worth of work, tons of dust/dirt and mess plus a lot of money. We put up drywall, installed a new floor, new cabinets/countertop, added new appliances, tile backsplash and did it all with a pinch of love and laughter. The outcome was well worth all of it.
We did most of the work ourselves with the help of a part time handyman. We found comfort in ripping down the ceiling and taking a sledgehammer to the pressed board cabinets we spent years painting and repainting.
The goal was to have a cozy workable kitchen with a feeling of Tuscany a place we dream of visiting. With the kitchen now completed and with the wine rack stocked - I think we have achieved our goal! Our favorite room to entertain? Of course it's the kitchen! Bon Appetit!"
