Great BEFORE and AFTER of this black kitchen we did earlier in the year…
It turned out so well..
Keeping your existing cabinets and hiring us will change your kitchen and save you so much $$$!

Black is just one of my favorites but I can say that with so many colors too!🙂

Here is a great before and after we recently did in Iowa City..
Black makes such a great classy statement…
We have done more black cabinets this year than any other year…
Don’t be afraid of black…
It’s always cool..🙂

A summer project of ours has been the guest bedroom here at home…
It’s a work in progress and when I am completely done… I will post about it..
Above the bed is not what I have in mind permanently…
However… it’s what I have right now..
The ceiling is SW Balanced Beige…
Walls- BM Dragons Breath (similar to urbane bronze)
The duvet cover is from Amazon and it was $25!
I’m super happy with the fabric… it was a frugal way to change the comforter color…
I’m still working on the trim..
It’s SW Greek Villa…

The guest room has been the catch all room always… so my goal was to get it to a place it was ready all the time..

I recovered the window valances with some adorable fabric from HL…
My hope is to decorate with more antiques eventually in it…

Happy Tuesday…
Thank you for being here!

We have interior wall painting openings available in September.. possibly cabinets too..
(Despite any diagnosis with myself.. Chris and I are keeping up just fine…🙂)

PM if you would like a free estimate…
No up charge from us.. because The Key is just us and YOU of course!

Good Morning!!!!
This kitchen is one of our favorites in 2025….

A small short update on my health situation…
This morning I have a radiation consult….
That is the best option and somewhat my only option…
Because of the location of everything.. surgery would mean for me most likely permanent ostomy bag… and at 44… I don’t really want to go there if there’s other options.

If I’m honest… I don’t want to do any of this…
They suggested chemotherapy pill with radiation…

I’m not really wanting to go that route either…
So if you want to pray for me today…
I need to listen to everything they can offer and make the best decision for me…

Thank you for all of your support… love and encouragement…❤️
Thank you for being here…❤️
