Kitchen Tidbits

In July when Shannon and Madison came to visit, she worked HARD helping me in redo my kitchen. (We also decorated another room that was a blank slate… more on that later.) Yes, the doorless kitchen cabinets have DOORS now! (Well, I had the doors. They were just stacked under the bed in the guest room instead of actually ON the cabinets.)
Sidenote: In case you’re thinking HUH? I’ll explain. When we moved to this house 5 years ago, everything in the kitchen was white. I hated it! So I took the cabinet doors off to paint the cabinets and then…. couldn’t find the hinges that I wanted so I just got frustrated and quit looking. Of course, I was doing 97 other things to the house too, plus a new backsplash and floor in the kitchen…. all was sort of happening at the same time. Not only did I get frustrated with the hinge situation… but I just got tired. And out of money. So a small break from the house turned into…. well, 5 years.)
My sister Lena came for a few days too. I am soooo glad, because I don’t know if Shannon and I could have finished without her help!
We painted cabinets, cabinet doors, and the walls. And assorted other goodies, which I’ll be showing you over the coming days.
