life.

in case you missed it on instagram, we are in the process of moving...again.  someone was interested in our house and i was up for another project, my husband not so much.  i wanted a gut job, my husband not so much...he was really enjoying our brand new home.  we are moving a couple of blocks away to a mid-century ranch.  never did i think i would say those words.....
but it's been fun so far.  is it my choice of desired exteriors, not really but i love a challenge and i love watching the process of something transforming into your own.  our house has only had one owner and so everything in the house was circa 1969.  i tackled the kitchen first.  here are some before pics...



here are some pics of the process.  we ripped out all of the upper cabinets, which opened up the eat-in kitchen side and made it feel like part of the kitchen.  it seems so much bigger now.  all of the ceramic tile was ripped out and will be replaced by a white washed oak wood floor.

we had our carpenter rework the lower cabinets by keeping the shell and making new drawers and doors.  i had one new upper cabinet made b/c i like having somewhere to store glasses without them being out in the open.  i will do open shelving on the other side of the window (much like our current kitchen).  we built a new cabinet on the end where the double ovens use to be.  all the brown paneling was covered with ship lap, super excited about this!!  we built a custom island that mirrors the walls w/ ship lap.


one side of the kitchen, we are leaving the same layout.  it houses great upper and lower storage, a pantry, and a built-in desk.  we simply reworked the cabinet doors and drawers, changed out the bi-fold doors for the pantry and added ship lap to the walls.  this side of the kitchen, we plan to use more as a bar.  i am thinking of putting antique mirrors on the upper cabinet doors to make it a little different. 

on the oven side, we ripped out the cook top and will replace it with a range.  a new bottom cabinet was made to sit on the other side of the stove and a cabinet surround was made for the new refrigerator.  our cabinet guy built a custom hood for the stove.  there will be no uppers on this side of the kitchen.


well that gives you an idea on what i've been up to this summer.  i want to be better about blogging during this renovation so don't give up on me :)  xoxo, shannon

  5. Oh my gosh, your kitchen looks like the 60s and the 80s had a baby - that tile! I have a 1963 ranch and I had those exact cabinets before we redid our kitchen. You would pull out the drawers, and the slide was made of wood, so a bunch of sawdust would accumulate in the lower cabinets. We had brown plaid wallpaper, fake brick linoleum and a 1970s Magic Chef that wouldn't hold a cookie sheet.

    I think you are doing a great job of livening up this kitchen! I love the shiplap - I am looking forward to seeing the end result! I'm sure it will be great!

  40. We have talked with one of the Oily skin person Rosy. "My skin was so oily since childhood and it was really irritating for me. I can't be confident even while i go to party or else to a function, everyone stares at my oil skin and i have to feel the shy. This is where I came across the https://yugloskin.com  from the Yuglo skin where the https://yugloskin.com/products/face-oil  is one of the best products which makes my face very smooth, free from oil and looks so great. Since then I have become an evid fan of the natural skin care brand. Especially the Natural Ingredients makes the brand so unique because these days we are seeing so many chemicals used products. Even though, their results might be faster but in the long run, we are going to have issues while using such kind of brands. Hence I recommend Yuglo for any women who is looking for organic and natural products for their hair, face and skin".

    While when we got the opportunity to speak with one of the dry skin women Ily. Ily said "My skin was dry all the time and it is really frustrating experience for me, especially, I stay in the cold regions and when there is heavy cold, you can clear see the layers coming out from the lips and skin due to dryness, that is where i tried the https://yugloskin.com/products/lip-mask  from the Yuglo. I apply it at thee night time before i sleep and while i woke up in the morning, i am going to have a great and nice experience, My skin feels better and i also tried the  https://yugloskin.com/products/skincare-face-masks  from this organic brand. I applied it for a month and you don't and you don't believe me the results are fantastic. I am using both their Peach Lips mask and Face mask for the skin since past 2 years and i would love to try their new products as well in the future. Thanks to the yuglo skin for bringing such awesome products and great thing is they are available at an affordable pricing. It merely costs me $25 per month to try their products and have a healthy skin routine.

    Types of Products to improve Skin Care

    When it comes to the types of the products, there are so many people who are trying the natural face masks by seeing the youtube videos and improving their skin care. There are majorly three types of skins, one is oily, the other is dry and the third one is mixed. Especially those with Oily skin always suffer due to their face looks quiet odd due to the excess oil on their face and they feel so bad about it. 
    This is where the Organic products of skin care has come in handy for these kind of people. While people who are having a mixed dry and oily skin, not had to suffer much but still they can improve their skin tone using the Lip mask product from amazon. This product is bought by more than 100000+ happy customers and has an average rating of 4.5 with more than 5500 reviews. 

    They have products which are related to hair, face and lips. Especially their lip sleeping mask is the best seller and next comes, the face mask which is also quiet good seller for them. They also have face oil and new vanilla flavor for the lips, they want to become one of the top skin care brands in the future by solving all the issues related to the skin care. They also have the face moisturizer which is one of the best among the face moisturizers compared to others as those comes with the natural ingredients which everyone will love than compared to unnatural and chemical ingredients.
