Found in a People Against Modern Farmhouse group. FROM THIS:

TO THIS. Oh, but it's so sweet. I love it, especially the pink accents.

I wake up and my coutertop's gone

Ending point for today, going to have to add a beam so we can move a beam ever so slightly over since the wall is not built quite the way we thought but so long as that goes well the current coffee nook plans should work just fine

When we went to see Frozen II on opening weekend, we attended a private invite-only event. Surprisingly to us, Ms. 6’s former adoptive family was there. So painful for Ms. 6 to see that they have added children to their family, but didn’t keep her. They didn’t even make eye contact with us, so no interaction between anyone in our family and them. However, super awkward, and admittedly left me feeling anger and resentment.

This week we went to Ms. 6’s basketball game and the adoptive home that has her siblings were there (total shocker as they live one town over and have never had kids in private school before). They still view Ms. 6 as the “bad kid” because she didn’t protect her siblings from the abuse and neglect. She was five when she was removed for the final time. The adoptive family used to be close friends with us until Ms. 6 moved into her previous adoptive home. Now we are not friends with either family. The family with her sibs were cordial to us at the game, but still lots of sadness over the lost/broken relationship on my end. Ms. 6 was on the court and didn’t notice them there (her sibs were not in attendance). I did talk to Ms. 6 after the game and let her know the adoptive parents were there, and then asked if she wanted me to go over with her to say hi. I wanted her to feel like she had some control over the situation, and since my other two older kids were with me, I knew she would learn that the family was there. Ms. 6 declined saying hi which I was fine wit and we just left after the game.

Yesterday DH went to the store where we purchased our tile to let them know after another issue with the tile guy this week that he was not welcome back, and the project could not be completed without starting over. The store owner said that the tile guy was our employee, not hers. Um, what? She said that we are paying him and not her to do the work. That is news to us as she invoiced us and sent him to our house. We never had him bid the project, didn’t know he’s working under his own company name, and had no say in who she sent over to do the work.

Finally got the kitchen painted (after 2 wrong paint colors and 5 attempts 😐) now just have to get the new flooring installed
