I Haven't Fallen Off The Map!

 Hey everyone, I know it has been a 

couple weeks since I posted, but I 

have been having problems with my

internet. They had to adjust it for 

the extreme heat and then they had

to come back the next week to adjust 

it, again.  I didn't want them to have

to come every week, and I knew it 

was gonna cool off eventually! It has

cooled off this week, but it is going 

to be back to almost 100, next

week.....The internet would work 

about a half hour a day, so I wasn't

able to blog much, 

which can be a good thing, if you

are wanting to get things done. 

I am taking advantage of the cooler

temps and I am working on my 

kitchen make over.....Here are some

pictures of what it looked like when 

I started....

Beautiful wavy trim...NOT! Hubby

banged it up, trying to see if we could

get the facing off and it just didn't 

want to come off.....Had to go to 

plan B...We would have to take a

lot of the front of the cabinets off,

to get rid of all the places, that it

has been routered....We had two 

other ideas for the cabinets....

 

 I am not too fond of the routered 

design on the doors...

 Or this beautiful formica.....he he...

 

Getting started, getting the OLD 

stove out....This was the pits to 

cook on.....It didn't work too well 

and it only had one large burner. 

This is the dining room side, you

can see that we have taken the trim 

off the top, already....That is bead

board at the back of the stove....

I am trying to decide whether or 

not I want to paint the cabinets

a different color....I am not good

at making decisions on things like

this, it takes me forever....I wanted

to get new counter tops, then the 

lumber yard didn't get the ones 

that are already miter cut, so I had

decided to paint them black with 

Caromal Colours paint, then I 

thought I might like to tile them 

and I priced the tile....Then I went

back to painting them....THEN, 

we went to another town and they

have the miter cut counter tops 

and I found one that I just love,

so.....I am going to get them and

we will go pick them up on 

Saturday....I can't wait to get it

done!  When we bought this house,

we planned on selling our house

in Texas, but changed our mind.

I was going to get all new 

cabinets, when we sold it....So, 

that is out....Anyway, I think

I will like it when we get it all

done.

More to come!

Thanks for stopping by....
