A Labor of Love?!?!?!

No, more like a Love/Hate relationship

When we first bought our condo back in July 2009, our little cut out window between the kitchen and hallway looked like this...


When Michael demolished the kitchen 1 1/2 years ago we didn't know what to put there so we left it bare drywall, wood and all...

Michael and I have gone back and forth for close to a year trying to decided what to put there, and finally decided that we would put a butcher block top on. Thus began Michael's love/hate relationship with the wood, stain, sanding, and everything else that goes along with making it look nice.

  2. Christy, he is a natural handyman. Thank god too, because we would be spending a fortune on this stupid condo if he couldn't fix and repair things.
