a touch of 50's.

 Kitchen Before

Kitchen After 

Our kitchen is fifties inspired due to the original metal cabinets, chrome handles, and teal Formica counter tops. We then added a modern, yet still retro, touch with eco friendly rubber flooring in a black and white checkered pattern. The table we bought at DI for $25.00, painted and called it a day. The chairs were discovered for a great deal on ksl.com and everything is pink because my husband loves me more than anything. :)

And Then There Were Three

Well, three months ago, after four pregnancy tests (I'm a little impatient), celebration with hugs, laughter, and tears between Sky, our cat (Orien), and myself we announced to our families that we are having our first baby. What a day! 

We made a cake to celebrate
and Sky bought me my favorite pink rose

And then...I got sick. Really sick. Morning sickness is a lie. It is all day or whenever-it-feels-like-it sickness. But, now the glorious rays of my second trimester are starting to shine forth! I am fifteen weeks and still occasionally nauseous but, nothing like it used to be. The weight of reality is sinking in as my belly grows and even though it is frightening it is more glorious than I could have possibly imagined. This little baby is due on March 21st, 2013 and seeing it on the ultra-sound and hearing its little heart beat are two of the precious moments of my life so far. 

My Dearest Little One, I love you more than I can possibly say. 

Liv n' Sky Buy a House

Welcome back bloggers,

This is the home edition of Liv n' Sky!

We bought a house! Wahoo!!! We finally have keys. This has been quite the ordeal over the past couple of months but now we are ready to have fun and do what Sky and I do best: CREATE! (did that sound wrong...? it wasn't supposed to...) We'll be moving in late February while the home is rewired, re-insulated, vented, AC-ized, and other wonderfully, updatedingly fun things. We also get to paint, stain the floors, glamorize(on a DIY budget), basically have a blast, and guess what! You get to be there every step of the way! Home blog!

I love building things, I love renovations, and I love thinking that everyone loves reading what I write so now I get all three! Life is looking good. So, sit back and enjoy the ride!

love,

Liv
