Jack is giving his critique of the painted drawers
Last week I had no goals other than to control the chaos in the house with our new puppy, new three year old dog, and the kitchen cabinets being painted. I'm happy to say that we survived the week! We are both still tired, but the pups are doing great. Boomer the 9 week-old puppy has us partially trained on when to take him out. If left to his own devices though, he would use the entire house as his bathroom, and night time in his crate is another matter. Let's just say paper towels are our salvation. Baker, other than wanting to eat our cats' food, is sweet and obedient and loves to play with Boomer! He is the epitome of "good boy".
The kitchen cabinets are painted, all of our "stuff" is back in place, and yesterday the contractor started on the backsplash. Hopefully next Tuesday I can show you some before/after shots, but look below to see a sneak peek of the backsplash.

Here are my goals for the coming week:
1. Work on catching up with Riley Blake Design block challenge
2. Make a few blocks for the Wedding Quilt
3. Catch up on SAHRR

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
Your cabinets are looking wonderful. How exciting. Thank you so much for hosting the link party. Have a very lovely week.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy but its looking great. All the best with catching up on the Riley Blake Challenge which is a lot of fun. Being the last week of the month, no new block so that gives a bit of catch up time.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is Jack supervising the work! Your kitchen is looking good! xx
ReplyDeleteLinda, your kitchen is looking amazing! I love the photo of Jack in the drawer, too - cats are so hilarious! We haven't had a puppy in a long time, but remember house-training as a full-time job. He'll get there, though. Thanks for hosting us every week!
ReplyDeleteWow, your kitchen is looking great! I'm glad Jack is handling the quality control part of the painting - I hope he at least waited until the paint was dry!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of Jack. How's he doing with the pups? Tony wants us to get a rescue dog as that is all he has had all his long life. Neddy is his first from a puppy and he has always had 2. But it's hard at the beginning with training but that will settle down fast. Hang in there. Lovely back splash...going to be so easy to clean too.
ReplyDeleteA refresh of the house is always a pick me up!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Your kitchen cabinets look gorgeous. I am a huge fan of white - they just look so nice and crisp and clean to me. Your new backsplash compliments them nicely. It sounds like everyone is falling into a routine - both the pups and you two. Thanks for the linky party today! I've got to go check out a few friends posts. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteLinda you do have your hands full with Reno’s and a puppy, but it’s good to see you have plans to find some time to sew! The cabinets look great and the peek at the backsplash looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteYour Kitchen is Awesome...and Jack looks
so handsome sitting in the drawers. Have
a great day!
Cabinets look great and I love Jack sitting there like why shouldn't he be there.
ReplyDeleteHaha Sandy, he has that attitude about everything - lol!
DeleteGirl you are braver than me! A house redo AND new pups? LOL
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your before and after photos! The kitchen is looking great!
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen looks great! I love those tiles, remind me of ones that I have but in a beach glass color way. Percy slept better in the crate when it was covered...you may have already tried that. Hooray for surviving the week and having a refreshed kitchen and animals to tell the tail (ha ha) of a week of learning to love each other.
ReplyDeleteHa! Cats are so funny the way they have to just sit inside things. I leave boxes (from shipped items) sit around for a bit after I get them in the mail just so my cat can have some new entertainment for awhile. Oh, I bet you are so happy with your new kitchen! The sneak peak looks great!!
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is looking very pretty, Linda. Jack is imspecting the service. LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the dishes display.
I would love to be able to remodel our kitchen....actually the whole house. Love your kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marsha! I hope you get to do that someday, although it sure is a pain when you are in the process. ;)
DeleteIf I buy a puppy will you train it for me? LOL LOL! Cabinets look great and love the backsplash! Cold here - colder where you are! Hugs
ReplyDeleteAny type of home improvement takes a lot of energy, even if you aren't doing it. Sounds like the puppies are settling in well. Hope you've been able to get in lots of stitching time this week.
