i thought it was. hopefully, when we are done it will look better. the hardest thing for me is picking out things like paint colors and tile. i really have no idea what i like or even what would be cute, so it is going to be really interesting to see how this little get up comes together. jared has been a real trooper thorough this process i made him raise the kitchen ceiling, which he was none to happy about, but he did a great job. although, if i would of known how much work it was i might have thought twice. but i am so glad it's done.
