Little Kong: Spring Fever!

The past couple days' nice weather has really gotten me thinking SPRING! I'm soooooo ready for warm weather, sun on my face, backyard bbq, beach and bikini kinda days.....the thought makes me smile every time :) In the mean time there is lots to be done at the Kong household to get ready for warmer days. "Money bought this house but I am going to make it a home" - I read this quote earlier today on another blog and I couldn't agree more!
My husband is working on the dining room table and chairs right now (slowly but surely), lookin good so far! Then I think its time to just break down and do the hardwood floors in the rest of the downstairs. I just can't take this carpet any longer....especially with the dogs I think it will much easier to keep clean. With this comes painting all of the trim since I have that 1980s/90s brown wood trim everywhere you look.....not our style and I CAN'T wait to see white trim line my dark hardwoods....mmmmm this also makes me smile. The other BIG project is going to be the kitchen cabinets which I know I've mentioned before but seriously once painted they will make such a major difference.

This kitchen has me thinking of doing two colors for cabinets (upper vs. lower)

Dramatic difference right??!! This is a very similar style to my kitchen, same color cabinets and ginormous ceiling light....its GOT to go!

determined to do this to my kitchen!

My parents have a big barn on their property that is currently housing a bunch of furniture and items that have been collected over the years but havn't found places in the house. As soon as it warms up a bit more I fully plan on raiding that barn and seeing what I can use. I know of a couple pieces that are calling my name and just begging to be repurposed ;)

Besides house stuff I'm totally thinking of all the cute baby stuff that comes along with warm weather. Here are some adorable must haves for this spring:
