Kitchen Revamp



Nevermind the mess on the counters but back near halloween of last year we painted our kitchen chickadee yellow! I think it goes great with some of the strawberry stuff I have. This was the first step in making our new house our home.

Since the first revamp I have made new curtains out of fabric that was on clearance at JoAnn's. It was a steal! Outdoor fabric for rough weather is perfect for boys and a dog. I also recovered our stools that go under the peninsula with the same fabric. I will add photos soon. I will make sure to clean really good first so it doesn't look like it always does! ha!


Now this gem of an idea I am very proud of! We have a eat in kitchen which mean no space. In the dinning room we added a small counter and floor to ceiling cabinets to cram all of our stuff. when you open the closest cabinet to the hallway it bumps the wall. We actually still have payments on these dang cabinet til next month so there is no way I was going to let the wall destroy them or add anything to the outside of the cabinet door to prevent this.
I used 4 cork tiles and covered them with sample fabric from a furniture store. Then, I added dollar store photo mattes with a few family photos. Each time the cabinet door opens it bumps my brother in the face instead of the wall!

A pile of craft

In order of pics I have a duct tape wallet, superhero outfitting for nephew eli, Harvey with his derby car of a log amusement park ride carrying some Lego guys and Darth Vader, the trophies I made for the derby that year, a gift for a friend's daughter, leprechaun trap, easter eggs, party supplies for a friend's birthday, bathroom wall, boys keep all dishes for bathroom supplies, a tree swing, even took a stab at quilting, sharpie drawings, jewelry center, prettied up my cabinets with paper.

From Christmas on I have had my craft room up in running I will post a few more covering what I have been up to since then!

Just over a two year break!

We moved, started new jobs, grew older and more over the last 2 years. I will run through the lot of crafts I have been working on. It is truly a lot since I have a full swinging craft room under foot!
