About Me

My Name is Travis Evans. I have been married since 2007 to my wife, Kira Evans. We have a Three girls, Kenzie Lou, Jacee Pink, and Emmy Jeanne. My wife has been doing the blog thing for a few years now, you can follow her comments @ travisandkiraevans.blogspot.com. Her blog covers our family and things we have done. Me, I'm going to cover what I call TKDesign. TKDesign is an idea which stands for creativity, execution, purpose, and family. Family with the "TK." TK gets its roots from a high school love story. A simple representation of two teenagers love, T+K. In our later years we dropped the "+" and now "TK" represents us, our family, and our values. Design, as the English dictionary defines it; to create, fashion, execute or construct according to plan, to have a purpose, to devise for a specific function or end, to make a drawing. We can sum up the definition with these three words; Creativity, Execution, and Purpose. You put these four things together; Family, Creativity, Execution, and Purpose and you have the idea of TKDesign. So you'll get my thoughts on sports, cars, designs, and my family. So if that Interests you feel free to read on!

Kitchen Reno, Let it begin...

This month started the long process of remodeling our kitchen. We've got some big plans and 6 weeks to pull it off. Working for Autodesk I get a 6 week sabatical every 4 years. Since I started there almost 6 years ago we have been planning this remodel. It's gone through many variations and I've modeled it many times, in about every software I use at work. You might think I'm crazy but yes my idea of vacation is working on my house. (We will mix a 9 day trip to Disneyworld at the start of my Sabatical.) We've been saving and now we are ready to begin...

Here are a few of the ideas I've had along the way.

We originally were going to go with a brown cabinet but after watching #fixerupper & #fliporflip I was able to persuade Kira into doing gray. Here is the final rendering our kitchen.

Also watching Joanna Gaines Kira has fell in love with Shiplap. So we are doing one wall in shiplap in the family room by the window.  

Just so you have a starting point here are a few before picture of what we started with.
