BEFORE AND AFTER..

I thought I might share a photo of how pretty my kitchen was 
and what it looks like now.
So this is the damage. I would not have thought that it would be this bad but as you can see it is totally striped down to nothing. I know it will be new again but it was really sad to see all our hard work destroyed. Yes, my husband and I did all the work. But the sad part is this is not it. The dinning room floors are damaged now too. So we will have to deal with those as well. 

So needless to say this is my life right now but always looking to God for comfort and peace. But I am human and must say that I am totally stressed. Well thanks for letting me vent...I so needed it.

I wish you all a wonderful and blessed weekend.
