Kiersten’s Blog

When we moved into our house back in December, we did a lot of big things.  There was a lot of work to be done, and we did most of it.  There are still a few lingering projects that would be nice to do someday (like the kitchen and the bathrooms, even though we did paint the kitchen cabinets) but I can wait on those.  Except for that kitchen sink and faucet.  Ugh.  Anyway, it’s the little things we’re doing now.  Taylor has been changing out switches, outlets, and switch and outlet covers from those old off-white colored ones to brand new bright white.  Downstairs we had some really ugly brownish metal switch covers.  Now most of the switches are done and it makes a huge difference in the look of our home.  I’m sure nobody coming over would even notice, but they would probably notice the ugly ones that were there before.  That’s kind of how I felt about all of the touch-up painting we did when we had a break from the kids.  The little things really do make a difference.  I guess that’s how it is in life too.  Sometimes I forget that I don’t have to do big, extravagant things to make a difference.  It’s really the small details that count.  Oh, but thanks to Taylor, a big thing got done today too and our car is now parked in the garage.
