the new FAMILY ROOM and KITCHEN

the long awaited addition pictures.... this post is of the new family room and kitchen. when we got home from thanksgiving they set the kitchen cabinets and put in the granite counter tops, painted walls, did the stone work on the fire place... by that next friday dave and i were moving in the furniture and loading stuff back into the kitchen. we just love it! i am so proud of dave and the man he is. he is an incredible builder but also so smart with money. we were able to refinance our house now with the addition and our mortgage is going to be the same it was without the addition! God has been so good to place all the right people in the right places to help us get this awesome deal. we are truly blessed and have made a decision to always have the house filled with the lord and his plans for our family. as our children grow up, we want our house to be a place they WANT to bring their friends to. i heard of a family that had a chest freezer in the garage and it was always stocked with frozen pizza and ice cream so when their kids brought friends over there was always something to eat. my prayer is to always be able to have a freezer full of food and house full of friends to eat it :)

dave built the book cases on either side of the fireplace as well
looking into the kitchen... the kitchen is part of the original house.

we didnt change the size of the kitchen at all just moved the stove to the other side of the kitchen and opened the wall up. we did get new cabinets and counter tops and i just love them.



more to come....
