Yesterday I said good-bye to my beloved kitchen. Let’s all have a moment of silence, shall we? We packed up our final U-Haul and made the trip back up to Washington.

It has been a long exhausting move, so I am thrilled to finally be done transporting my stuff across the state! But, it was sad to say good-bye to the room I loved the most –  my kitchen.

So, in honor of closing the door for what I expect was the last time (praying our closing happens in the next couple of weeks!), I took some time to reflect back on the top ten lessons I learned by remodeling my kitchen on a budget.

And who better to share my tips with than the master remodeler himself, Remodeling Guy! I am lucky enough to get to be his guest today, so pop on over to read the tips and say hi (do you ever feel like I Dream of Jeannie when you can just blink your eyes and pop on over to visit people? I always wanted to be able to do that, and now I can! I love blogs.).

Tim (Remodeling Guy) is hosting a Spring Round Up of our home improvement projects! If you want to get in on the fun and share your projects later this week, check out some sneak previews while you are there!
