Home improvement fund!

Wowers! I haven't posted in AGES. AGES, I tell you!!

Anyway. I've decided to post because I recently opened up a home improvement fund for some home improvements we hopefully plan on starting sometime soon. The biggest project will be the kitchen and bathroom, which will consist of knocking down walls (I hope).





This is our poorly designed kitchen. As you can see, we have a mobile dishwasher which doesn't fit really anywhere, so we put it in front of the silverware drawer and the pots and pans cabinet. Handy! In the lower right-hand corner, you can see the counter juts out, which is just dumb. Why didn't they just extend the stupid counter??




This is another shot of our kitchen heading into the useless hallway that leads to the bathroom and then to the main hall. The yellow wall to the left after the fridge is the one we want to rip out and use the extra space to extend the bathroom out.



Here's our teeny bathroom. And yes, that bright yellow thing on the counter IS a nose whistle.

Here's a unique shot of part of the bathroom, a wall, and part of the kitchen. I don't really know why I posted this.

Here's a hammer smashing through the wall next to the hallway closet, which is pretty much useless. If we break down that wall, we could extend our bathroom way out!
Here's a new curtain panel I bought at Target. We've been trying to figure out what kind of curtains to get, and we wanted something kind of funky and modern, but couldn't really find anything. I'm sick of the neighbors being able to see us through the sheer curtains we have, so I picked up these rust-colored curtains. (No, I didn't specifically like them just because they're orange!) They look nice with the earth tones in our living room. I'm sure later (perhaps much later) we'll get some nice, funky curtains. But this'll do for now!

Anyway, that's my two cents. I don't know what got me back on the posting bug. Perhaps it was modcloth.com. They sent me an e-mail about blogging. I'd post a picture of me wearing a Modcloth outfit, but I always look super tubby in them. Wait... I AM super tubby!
Thanks for reading, everyone! Comments, suggestions welcome. (I like when people comment. How selfish is that?)
