The story of our new house.............We bought 8 acres of land not from from Lawton OK. We wanted to get our kids (who were 12 and 7 at the time) out of the bigger schools. We had a 5 year plan to get a house built. We bought a mobile home to live in while we built our house. We wanted to do it as we could afford it and not have a mortgage. My husband had to have a total knee replacement, the other knee had to have ACL replaced, and shoulder reconstuction surgery. I had to have jaw surgery because a dentist broke my jaw and my daughter had to have surgery on both of her knees. So our 5 year plan has turned into a 10 year plan. We bought a shell of a house from the military base and now we have most of the interior done. Here's the kitchen (minus a bit of trim work) We work on it in the evenings and weekends and I can't wait to have it all completed and NO mortgage :D

This is a small house, 1000 sq ft and only 2 bedrooms but in a year we will be childless. We had a large home (5 bedrooms) when the kids were small and I spent all my weekends cleaning. So to save time and money we went small this time ;) I can clean the whole thing in a few hours!

Well that is an awesome job you did there.

I have a question. I noticed the cushions , is it a bench like, corner nook thing? I have been wanting to make one for my kitchen.

No that's actually the couch that seperates the living room from the kitchen. It's a sectional so I used it to "section the room" :)


thanks everyone. We are working really hard to get this down before our daughters 17th bd on the 28th of this month.

Stover, that is just gorgeous! You should be so proud!

I agree about downsizing once the kids are gone. I'm stuck in this big house and we use 3 rooms out of it, but I still have to vacuum and dust in all of it.

Much luck to you with the new place!


8-o What's that????

ETA: Love the new pic!!!!!

That kitchen looks like something out of a magazine..but without all the set dressing (like fruit and fancy dishes). Good job!!!!

thanks. I can't wait until its ALL done and I can afford all stainless steel appliances :D If Kelly Ripa can have a stove that boils water in 90 sec by gosh I want one too! :lol:
