Summer Drinks-Watermelon Lemonade & The Only Way To Cut a Watermelon!

It's time to eat watermelon……a lot of watermelon. You will never cut 

watermelon any other way after learning how we cut this one-PROMISE!!! 

 It makes it sooooo easy to eat, especially for the little ones. No messy wedges here. 

Now you just made eating watermelon fun to eat!!!

Cut a watermelon in half and then place the melon cut side down and

 slice 1" to 1.5" wide.  Then turn the water melon 90 degrees  and slice again. 

Super Simple but it makes the watermelon just all that more fun and easy to eat. 

Loved the look of it too. 

Now with the second half of your watermelon make a fabulously delicious Watermelon Drink or Slushy.  We made this for the Camping themed birthday party for my son-in-law. It was absolutely delicious and refreshing and simple to make!

Put a watermelon wedge in the drink along with a mint leaf for color. 

People will be impressed!

RECIPE FOR A DRINK AND A SLUSHY IS HERE

 HERE are some of the steps in the recipe.

Slice up your watermelon into chunks. You'll need 8 cups.

 Juice lemons to get 1 cup of lemon juice. 

 Blend up half the watermelon chunks with 1 cup of water. 

Then blend up the other half with another cup of water.

Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer and discard the pulp.

See our BEFORE and AFTER Photos of a Cute House we Totally Remodeled-It's for SALE too!

As promised we are continuing the Before and After photos of the house that we recently remodeled. We're talking about the Master Bathroom now. We are showing the "AFTER" photo first so you can see all the great things we did to this bathroom first and then the "BEFORE" photos below.  

We moved the north wall out to make more room in this master bath and I'm so glad we did!

We took this soaker tub out to make room for the walk in shower.

This 3' x 3' shower was the next thing to go.  The toilet was originally on the right side of this shower.

The vanity and mirrors/cabinet above it went out the door too.  The tile floor had to be broken up and then removed (a labor intensive job that Builder Chad did- thank goodness- I'm just not all that strong) We had to redo the plumbing for the toilet as we moved it on the opposite wall.  We brought the north wall of the bathroom out almost 2 feet, we had the space so we did it!  That meant we had to move the plumbing for the shower too.

The walls were painted a beautiful light grey with the base and trim white.  The floor tiles had brown and grey in them and looked like wood plans. We used the same tile for the accent pieces in the shower.  The shower floor is a pebble tile that I absolutely loved. I've been trying to get Builder Chad to use the pebble tile in our other showers, and this time, I'm happy to say, I got my wish.  It has pebbles in brown, light brown, light and dark grey. 

The white cabinets have a granite top, new faucets, mirrors and lights. Two sinks mean you can both get ready at the same time in the morning.  The toilet is on the south side of the shower. We made sure there was plenty of room on each side of the toilet, it's new too! 

As I said earlier, this great tile had browns and grey in them. We used a light grey grout to bring out even more of the grey in the tile and we love it!  Tile used to be so boring compared to what they make now. 

Come to our Open House this Saturday July 21st 11:00 to 2:00 to see all-AND it is for Sale-You could have this Brand New, Totally Remodeled house!   358 West 3950 North Provo, Utah  (River Bottoms)

A Totally Remodeled Home and It's Available Now! A Dream Home Once Again….

We had a grand adventure the last few months. We did a total remodel of a cute house in a kid friendly cul-de-sac in the city of Provo (Utah).  The house was in good solid condition but it needed a total update.  In fact Builder Chad changed, remodeled, gutted and rebuilt everything in the home except for the upstairs bath tub.  So basically it is a brand new house in a beautifully established neighborhood. A Dream Home!

p

The kitchen was built in a U-Shape and was basically closed off to the dining/family room that was just to the north.  We gutted the entire kitchen including the pantry and the laminate flooring. We removed the out-dated soffit around the ceiling, the cabinets and appliances and took down the wall the separated the two rooms.

With the wall gone you now have an open view from both rooms and the kitchen is so much larger. You cold get a lot of people in this kitchen cooking and helping with the preparation now.  The white cabinets lightened up the area too. Everything in this Kitchen is brand new including the subway tile back splash.

View from the family room/dining room. There was a wall where the bar now sits. 

Here's the view of the side of the kitchen and the pantry.  We painted the walls a beautiful light grey with the base and trim a fresh white paint.

The countertops are granite and we purchased new stainless steel appliances. (Whirlpool)  We installed wood flooring from the front door to the back of the house. The pantry shelves were replaced with adjustable shelves so you could store big and small items. The large opening is for the refrigerator, of course. What a difference!  We are very happy with this transformation! 

The fireplace was basically a wood burning stove that needed to go along with the rock. The mantle is on the floor in front of the fireplace.  Builder Chad had a time getting the rock off of the wall but he did prevail. Everything had to go. We put new rock on it and converted it to a gas fireplace.  

We love this grey stone and it was, I wouldn't say easy, but it was a good project and we were pleased with it when we were finished.  The mantle was purchased at Euclid in Heber. There is plenty or room above the mantle for a good sized TV. There are also two large windows so you have plenty of north facing light. A warm fire and a great movie would make a nice evening for the family.

I love that we live so close to this to Euclid!  They do amazing work at this place ! We get all our wood/mantles at Euclid Timber. 

Here is the lovely piece of wood that we turn it into a lovely mantle.
