That's the hard part, lol.

StL, dance and sing for them and they won't get bored.

quick hi and a picture of the progress so far - it still needs lighting, backsplash and hardware, but the cabinets are finally all stained and hanging back up!

Nice, please post products used.

Beautiful!! I love it!

Thank you heluvsme! Well worth all the hard work, I think! Now, back to finishing up the trim - it will appall some, but I am painting all of the oak trim white. Hopefully soon, the new house will be closer to what I envisioned in my head when we bought it.

Bluer - we used a custom match stain by sherwin williams (Sher-wood stain). We pulled out the old "island" which was basically 2 cabinets with a counter on top of it and put in a new custom island with turned legs to resemble a piece of furniture; so we had them match the stain color to the new piece. I stripped and sanded the cabinets, and then put on the stain - you have to build it and I even left it on a little thick without wiping off overnight to dry to get them as dark as they are. Then I did 1 coat of midnight tinted cabot poly and a couple of coats of clear poly (minwax). It's a big project, but it made a HUGE difference. We love it!

Shumi - the new concoction maker is awesome! Unlike the pervious version, this one has a self dispense lever and all you do is refill ice bin and pour more mixer in the pitcher - frozen concoction all day not just a pitcher at a time!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far! Hope everyone had or is having terrific trips too! We finally decided on Portifino Bay for our trip, and we are all booked!

Oh. Great. Now there's no way I can let my bride know that people can do major remodeling projects AND Orlando vacations!

BTW...That sure does look nice!

Hi

Cielei ....those cabinets are just gorgeous. I bought paint to redo my cabinets and you gave me inspiration to follow in your footsteps... wish me luck as I usually get more paint on myself than the object I'm painting.

Had a great day yesterday... DS Trey and I went to ATL for a Braves game. We had lunch at Ruth Chris in Centennial Park...yum. It was nice to stay overnight at a hotel next to the ballpark especially since the game lasted 13 innings and it was after midnight when we got out.. the only bad thing is the Braves lost and I woke up with a sore throat probably from yelling so much...but it was fun anyway.

Hope everyone has a great week

Keisha stole Bluer's camel. Hasn't been seen since!

my minions have been riding that camel like a rented mule

ok homies, your vacation is over, I'm back in black.

1st the whine:

our 'free' Carnival cruise turned out to be worst booze cruise I've seen.

those of you who know me are aware I'm oh-so laid back & like to have a good time as much as the next person especially on vacation. Let's just say when your FB/cruise critic slot pull gets repeatedly threatened by security as to getting booted, you know you are in some rough company. Lowest common denominator effect & things went downhill from there.

I'm a seasoned cruiser, hit a big wave on way to Aruba in middle of night. Ship sounded as though tearing apart, nose went up into the air, ship slammed down, then skittered starboard. Even my DH who was on aircraft carrier said it was bad indeed = me green lol.

Did enjoy the ports. The sunrise safari was really nice @ AK & SWW was a hoot, did get to see Mark Hamill & my man Billy Dee Williams! will post some pics once I upload.

bonus points I got sick last full day of cruise, wound up in hospital when I got home with bacterial pneumonia I'm still treating. Also, had a electrical surge from storm take out desktop & some small appliances once we got home despite surge suppressors.

I'm hiding under covers at at this point lol but nobody has lost a limb so i'll call it a win & carry on

now the cheese:

to the bluers -

think I'm caught up now that I'm back in the da 'hood: nice kitchen redo, StL's heading home, carole is back home-tooth in hand, nice family photo-booth style pics, a wedding.

 

[Cielei]

Tink - I believe in you and good luck! I too tend to wear as much paint or whatever as I put on things, but I do manage to not get splatter on anything important! That's something, right?

Buckeev - thank you and it can be our little secret!

Keisha - sounds like it was quite a "free" trip!

Keisha, so glad to hear you are on the mend! Sorry to hear about the cruise from hell. Obviously the minions were having fun rocking your ship.

I'm not the best painter either. I stripped all the 5, yes 5 layers of wallpaper off the walls in my one bedroom. Let's just say I will be hiring if that needs to be done again.

Love the color of the kitchen cabinets. Great job!

Bluers, hope your weekend Birthday jaunt went well. Yes, Mrs. Bluer, I feel old when my DS turns 17 this fall. Darn kids grow up.


Happy Wednesday! No camel, as Keisha said, the minions have it and are trying to confuse Mac what day it is this week!

 

[schumigirl]

Yay........Janet's back after rocking the high seas.......wow scary stuff......one of the reasons I won't go on a cruise......I remember the Poseidon Adventure

Glad you're on the mend, what an awful thing to get......hope you're getting looked after Nice to have you back

Cielei.........nice doors

Vicki......glad the visit went well........I love Ruth's Chris .......wish I had been there......oh and butt has truly been kicked.....thanks And sorry your team lost......that sucks!

Lynne.........yep.....we hire the guy in whatever needs doing in our house.............it's just easier I will paint though as I do enjoy that, but that's about it. DH is happy to go along with getting someone in too!!



Crown came out again today........had very quick visit up to Scotland and I just got home had cuppa tea and a coconut cookie and out it came!! Sorted back in with stuff from cvs.........dentist on Monday thank goodness.....my own dentist this time.

Interviewing with my friend on Friday see if we can get someone in this job so I can go back to be a lady of leisure full time again
