The Kitchen Cabinets Before Make over

So late this Fall after we were all settled at the Home Storage Center

with two new Assistant couple to help us

We started a BIG project

we decided to paint our kitchen cabinets

they are 22 years old, but are in really good shape

and good quality.

So this first picture is what our garage looked like for

about three weeks!

We wanted to do the kitchen in stages so the whole thing wouldn't

be torn apart all at the same time

These are the cabinets before we painted

they were a light colored wood

They were getting pretty worn on some of the edges after 22 years

New Kitchen Cabinets

Newly painted Kitchen Cabinets

Well after about three weeks of working on the

cabinets, it looks like a new kitchen !

We just love it

Lots of hard work but very worth it

Mactavish and Jill wanted to get in on

the pictures

Catch up on the Blog !

Fall Flowers 2011

Look at these beautiful flowers!

We had our assistant managers over for diner and

they both brought us these incredibul flowers

I LOVE FLOWERS

I saw a "Tool Box" like this one on

one of the craft sites I look at and Gary made this one for me

I really Love it

I have been so sad to think all these flowers are going to be

gone soon so I had to come out and take a few pictures of them
