Formica® Laminate: A Modern Choice
Can you hear the yelps of joy coming from my place? Yes, our kitchen redo is finally finished and I am so excited to share it with you! I have wanted to change our concrete kitchen countertops forever and was going back and forth on what I wanted.

Dwell :: Our Kitchen Redo – Part One
Buying Your First Home: Buying your first home is such an exciting new journey but it can be stressful! We had looked all over Orange County and ended up buying a place about 50 yards from our apartment. I guess you could say we liked the area. The day we signed the papers happened to fall on my birthday so we had some chocolate cake and a glass of champagne in our new home that night. My sweet husband even carried me across the threshold into our home. We immediately had the floors replaced with bamboo flooring and had the house painted, and ceilings scraped before we moved in.
