Adding the back splash!

We finally decided that this is the spring that we will be adding the back splash in our kitchen, but before we do we need to repaint it.  I think picking out the paint will be the hardest part as we already are disagreeing as to what to do.  I think we should change the color, even if it’s just a little.  It’s currently a creamy white on most of the walls with a dark great above the cabinets.  Parts of me is wondering what it would be like to paint it a very light beigh.. just something a tad different as to at least I would know where I painted and didn’t paint.  ~wink~

The picking out the back splash was easy.  Paul and I already had decided to just go with our countertop, but when Paul went to get a sample just to make sure the place was trying to talk us into going with a smale tile look instead as I guess that’s the latest thing.  Of course I think if they had seen our house they would of known that’s not us as I can’t think of one piece of modern furniture that we have here.  (we like more the country look)

I really do hope that Paul’s days off next week we can pick out some paint and I can get started on that project!   Now that I’m in the mood to get our house looking nice I’m wanting it down NOW.

Wish us luck!  Don’t worry.. I won’t forget to take the before and after pictures!

Prices are going up again

We just got our home owners insurance this past week and once again it went up.  Of course it didn’t surprise me since not this past Thanksgiving, but the year prior we had to make a claim as our refrigerator sprung a leak and left us with major water damage.   Paul still went to our agent to see if there was anything we could do to try and get the price to drop, but unfortunately this time there wasn’t.  Per our agent the prices of everything is going up.  For example to rebuild our house if it burned down would cost a lot more than a couple years ago due to the price of the materials have increased.    That’s where I’m glad we had got a term life insurance quote 7 years ago and bought it then. At least that’s one insurance where the rates won’t increase until the term is done.
