My house was built in 2003. And that means builder grade oak, lots of it.

| My only son's 5th birthday in 2004 with the oak built-in behind him. |
 |
| My sister in law in my kitchen the same year with my middle daughter in my oak kitchen. | | | | |

 |
| My middle daughter chasing her brother in 2006 around the oak stairs. |
 |
| And my middle child again in 2011 with the oak desk in the background. |
 |
| And my only son again, last year, on the same stairs. |

In case you missed it, the only thing changing in the pictures is the age of the children. The house not so much.
So this year I am gathering my courage (and inspiration from online pictures and fellow bloggers) and I will be launching into the world of gel stain and DIY makeovers. Follow my progress on this blog.
***(Note: I am reverse-dating the posts because having the post titles in reverse chronological order in the side bar makes my CDO go on hyperdrive....CDO is OCD but in alphabetical order...see what I mean? By reversing the dates, it makes the titles actually go in order down the page. Why is this so hard for google to understand?)***
