Kitchen counter rearrange - cost...... $13. for cannister set

Good Morning Sweet Friends,

Hope everything is well with you 

and yours, and hope that you are 

enjoying your summer, as it sure

 is fading fast, can't believe Thurs-

day will be August 1st already.......

Wow! Where did the time go......

All is well here still........we are waiting to see if Dee

and Jerry's house will sell,  they are having an open

house on Saturday, so will see what happens.

That is how we sold our house so quickly when we

moved here years ago from Lauderdale. It was a

bad time to sell, so they said,  so I told our realtor

who was a friend as well,  that if you get someone

thru this house it will sell,  cause I know what the

rest of the houses in the neighborhood look like,

and they are in bad needed of updating and

renovating,  and we had done a lot of work in

ours.  so he quickly had an open house and the

first couple who came thru bought it,  and paid

full asking price,  because the 2nd couple who

came also wanted it.................so Open Houses

are a good thing, as Martha would say!

Last Friday I decided to do something I have

been wanting to do for months,  but either I had

the time and no energy or creativity,  or I had

the creativity or energy and no time.  lol

So finally,  I started the project on Friday and

pretty much finished it,  but have just been 

doing some tweaking here and there since.

I redecorated my counter tops with a whole

new look and hubby and I both really like it.

A much cleaner fresher look,  and seems

like we have more space on the counter 

tops, and it only cost me $13.00 for a new

glass canister set that we got months back,

think I might have told you about it but didn't 

show it to you I don't think....well, the rest of 

the story will be in pictures mostly...................

So come on in................

View from Family room

Remember you can click on any picture and it should enlarge
them all......................

 We will start at the counter top to the left -
This is the before pic

After

Decided I didn't want to use my cup rack, 

 so decided to just display them on a plate.

Had this lil vase with flowers on the sink edge

so decided they would look nice in the middle

 of the cups instead.

After

only thing that changed here is the towel and rug.

I had a colorful striped rug, and will probably put

it back, cause I imagine this white one is gonna

be a pain,  but the other one needed washing

anyway,  so figured now was a good time.

 Before

After

No Before Picture of the stove, forgot!

 So these are all After pictures

This is by the coffee pot

If you were going in a clockwise direction next would

 be our table and chairs,  but I am leaving that

for another post.........cause I did some playing

with the table............lol

Next is the other side of the kitchen..............

Before

the canister set has been here since I got it a few months

ago,  but was waiting to move things around so I could

put it where it is now.

 Our pantry is on the left and that is an ironing board, chair and
ladder all made into one............on the right hand side.
There will be a white towel hanging on the oven soon.

Now I have a question since you have seen my kitchen

completely.................

I would like to paint my stove hood so that it would make

a statement,  but can't decide what color to paint it........

This is a pretty good representation of the colors

in my wallpaper.......so what color would you

pick for the stove hood???

It really was morning when I started this!!

Sorry this is so long, but many times when I see

pictures of someones room,  you can't see a lot

of the detail even when you blow the pictures up

so I wanted to include that, cause if you are like

me that is a lil disappointing.................and it

even happens with magazines too.  I have also

been downloading pics in between other things

I was doing today too................

Anyway, hope you enjoyed the tour........

will post pictures of the table area sometime

soon,  was thinking tomorrow but probably

not, since I will be babysitting our lil darling!!

So probably next week........
