Painted is Better

Just wanted to show you the new paint.

I was inspired by Kim at Savvy Southern Style

and painted the back of the cabinet in the kitchen.

Honestly, I didn't do anything - hubby did. 

Our cabinets are custom-built oak and I really

didn't want to paint the actual back wall of the cabinet.

I have a tendency to change my mind and who knows

what I will want down the road - I knew it wouldn't be

an easy fix, if I wanted to have the "wood look" again.

So, we took a trip to Lowe's on a search

for something thin to paint

and to fit behind the shelves. 

And, we found it. 

After measuring,

cutting and painting -

it's in and I'm lovin' the color,

especially with

my new dishes.

(This cabinet used to have solid doors

until sweetie removed the oak and

installed the glass doors. 

Made such a difference!)

I know y'all told me and my DIL said

"NEVER, EVER",

but I just couldn't get a good

picture without using the FLASH. 

So, y'all are just gonna have to forgive me

because I wanted you to see the

pretty kiwi green.

See how my new dishes

POP

with the backdrop of green!

The framed pic in the back

of this cabinet is actually

a box top from a box

of lemon cookies my daughter

brought me from

Italy.

Yea, my daughter went to Italy and I stayed

home and got a box of cookies.

But, I love the box!!!!

Cookies weren't bad either!!!

And, this is where I BLOG,

so I can enjoy my

"new" cabinet while I visit with y'all.

This shows a good pic

of the tile backsplash

hubby put up after

we replaced our

laminate countertops

with granite a couple

of years ago.

He's so handy to have around!

More sunny lemons and daffodils -

reminds me of spring. 

The weather sure doesn't say

spring today. 

We have snow and 11 degree temp

 in Kentucky today.

Been cleaning our closets and found

these tea towels my Mom embroidered several

years ago. 

I've been saving them.

For WHAT?

Now, I am enjoying them in my kitchen.

Aren't they the cutest?

This little rooster is watering his flowers.

And Mr.  & Mrs. are

on their way to church. 

Look at her little purse.

This little glass vase was a yard sale

find some months ago.

I love the unusual shape and the

little spreaders (had these) peeking out

match all my "new" stuff.

Thank you all so much for stopping by.

I am so enjoying blogging and all of your

sweet comments.

I'm a long way from being an expert blogger and

often times can't figure out how to respond to your comments - just know I appreciate each one.

But, I visit your blog frequently

and enjoy seeing what you are up to.

Have a great week-end!
