Hey happy Monday! Did you get a chance to enter the $50 American Express gift card giveaway? So easy to enter, all you have to do is leave your favorite gardening tip in a comment, and that’s it! Head on over to check it out, if only to read some of the of the comments, it’s a treasure trove of gardening advice. Right here.
And now, a bright white kitchen to start your week off right, from Katie at Simply Katie. The before wasn’t all that bad, but kind of dark and cave-y, and the low-quality MLS listing photo wasn’t going out of its way to help things either.
That’s kind of standard for MLS listings though. This befuddles me. Have you browsed through any in your area recently? I don’t know about your part of town, but out here a typical listing will be like “GORGEOUS MODEL HOME — UPGRADED EVERYTHING — THIS ONE IS A MUST SEE!!! (Here are some blurry cell-phone pics that I had my 6-year-old take in the dark to prove it).”
Definitely looking gorgeous now! Great job Katie.

I thought they wanted to sell the house, most of the pictures scare me and then I don’t want to see the house.
