Carrie gathered the most votes for her Sunshine post (and adorable picture!). I don’t know how you all chose between all those posts, but I do hope you were as happy to look through the entries as I was. Carrie, I’m sending the gift certificate to your email. Everyone else, thank you SO much for entering
And now, for something completely different…I wanted to make you aware of Kimberly-Clark’s Room-A-Day Giveaway. In order to give a few of moms a chance to “relax, restore and renew,” KC is planning to award 16 winners from January 28 through February 15 (all announced on The View) $25,000 to renovate any room in their houses. The last winner will be announced March 21 on the Room-a-Day Giveaway website. If you’re like me, you’ll be clicking on over to their website to enter!
Right now, I think I’d happily demo my kitchen with my bare hands to get things started. The vinyl flooring is losing its luster and showing the evidence of too many accidents and the cabinets have sadly sagging shelves…not that they were designed to hold much, anyway. When the house was built in 1979, I’ll bet the owners did exactly what they did with so many other things–they got the cheapest available supplies. We’ve improved the kitchen a little with some tin tiles to cover up the drywall where we needed a backsplash, and we added a new laminate countertop and sink (the sink was a necessity since the original sink had a HOLE in it). Oh, and lots and lots of paint, but still, the kitchen could use a little do-over. Ideally, we’d add on when we did this so that the space between the counters was more than three feet, but new cabinets and flooring would be wonderful without the extra space. After all, preparing a meal is really fast when everything is in arm’s reach :)
