ALMOST THERE, THANKFULLY!!!

YES, THIS IS ABOUT THE CABINETS.. BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING WE THINK TO BE VERY SPECIAL.. SEE THE PICTURE OF THE ROOSTER IN THE MIDDLE? AT 86 YEARS NORMAN'S MOM PAINTED IT FOR HIM FOR HIS 67TH BIRTHDAY!.. SHE DID IT ALL ON HER OWN, IT WASN'T A PAINT BY NUMBER OR ANYTHING.. PRETTY GOOD HUH? YES, REALLY "SPECIAL"

THIS IS A PICTURE OF A CABINET (straight back) WITH A SHELF BELOW IT WITH A DRAWER.. NORMAN MADE IT FOR US ON SATURDAY TO FINISH THAT CORNER OUT.. UNDER IT WE HAVE TWO SLIM PROFILE TRASH CANS THAT WE BOUGHT TO KEEP OUR CAT FOOD IN ONE AND DOG FOOD IN THE OTHER.. THE BACK SPLASH, I JUST PAINTED TO MATCH THE BACK SPLASH AND TILE ON THE OTHER CABINETS.. WE LIKE IT.. AND I APPRECIATE IT NORMAN, THANKS FOR THE EFFORT! LOVE YA BABE!

(ACTUALLY THE RED IS MORE LIKE THE COLOR OF THIS FONT)

THE CABINETS OVER MY STOVE, AND YES, I EVEN PAINTED MY RANGE HOOD RED ALSO.. 

HOW DO YOU LIKE HOW HE HAS THE ROOSTERS MADE RIGHT IN WITH THE TILE FOR THE BACK SPLASH? WE STILL DO!

THANKFULLY THESE LIGHT AND DARK SPOTS ARE NOT REALLY THERE.. I AM JUST USING MY PHONE TO TAKE THE PICTURES!

THESE CABINETS ARE ABOVE THE MICROWAVE AND BESIDE THE "APPLIANCE SHELF"
===========================
WE ALSO HAVE AN ISLAND IN OUR KITCHEN THAT MY SISTER JENNA GAVE US.. IT IS AWESOME ON IT'S OWN.. IT'S WHITE WITH A BUTCHER BLOCK TOP (WITH 2 LEAFS) AND IT HAS 2 DOORS AND 2 SHELVES.. AND REALLY NICE.. WE LIKE IT JUST THE WAY IT IS! THANKS JENNA! LOVE YA

THIS IS THE DIVIDER BETWEEN THE LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN.. IT IS ALL PAINTED THE BEIGE WITH A BIT OF RED TRIM AROUND THE EDGE OF THE OPENING.. IT REALLY SHOWS UP A LITTLE BETTER THAN IT DOES HERE..
==============================
SEE THE PICTURE SET ON TOP? IT WAS ONE THAT MY DAD BOUGHT MY GRANDMA FOR CHRISTMAS IN 1946... PRETTY COOL, HUH? SHE WAS A VERY SPECIAL LADY.. MY DAD WAS AWESOME TOO.. LOVE AND MISS THEM BOTH!

THIS IS "STEVE" THE PET ROOSTER OF THE KITCHEN.. AS YOU SEE IT NEARLY TAKES UP THE BOTTOM OF THE REFRIG.. BUT, HE'S AWESOME, AND ABIGAIL NAMED HIM STEVE!














THIS IS THE "APPLIANCE CABINET" AND BOY DOES IT COME IN HANDY.. IT IS CONNECTED ON ONE SIDE BY THE CABINETS THAT HOLD THE MICROWAVE AND ON THE OTHER NOW WITH THE NEW CABINET AND SHELF/DRAWER THAT NORMAN MADE..


ABIGAIL PAINTED THE APPLIANCE CABINET ALL BUT THE RED EDGING ON THE BEIGE SHELVES.. I DID HELP HER WITH IT..

MIND YOU ALL THIS RED TOOK BETWEEN 5 AND 6 COATS OF PAINT.. AND WE USED A GOOD NAME BRAND LATEX ENAMEL..




THESE NEXT TWO PICTURES ARE THE "SPICE CABINET" ABIGAIL ALSO PAINTED IT.. SOMEHOW THE BEIGE IS SHOWING UP DARKER IN IT THAN IT REALLY IS.. ACTUALLY THE CABINET BESIDE IT (IS ONE OF THE ONES ABOVE THE STOVE) IS MORE THE COLOR OF THE RED AND BEIGE...

IT WAS CANDY APPLE RED AND WHISPERING WHEAT BEIGE..

SHE TOLD ME.. "GRANDMA, YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU ARE DOING (THE POLYURETHANE) AND LET ME TAKE CARE OF THIS ONE.. I DID A REALLY GOOD JOB ON THE OTHER SHELVES, DIDN'T I?"

THIS IS THE LARGE SET OF DRAWERS (METAL) THAT WE USE FOR MANY THINGS... THE TOP DRAWER HAS NORMAN'S MEDS, NEEDLES AND SUCH.. PLUS NAPKINS, BATTERIES AND SUCH.. THE NEXT IS PAPER PLATES, BOXES OF MAC AND CHEESE, RICE, NOODLES, AND SUCH... ALSO LIGHT BREAD, BUNS AND SUCH.. THE THIRD DRAWER HAS KITCHEN TOWELS AND CEREAL... AND THE LAST DRAWER HAS POTS AND PANS.. YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE JUST HOW HANDY THIS WONDERFUL OLE "RE-PURPOSED" CABINET IS TO US! WE ENJOY JUST HOW HELPFUL IT IS!

CABINETS BY THE STOVE.. BETWEEN THE SPICE CABINET AND THE CABINET, SHELF AND DRAWER THAT NORMAN MADE SATURDAY..

THE LONGER CABINETS THAT THE MICROWAVE SITS ON.. IT'S BETWEEN THE CORNER SINK AND THE APPLIANCE CABINET

THIS LIGHT COLOR DOWN HERE IN THIS LOWER CORNER IS MORE LIKE THE COLOR OF THE CABINET DOORS. 
<

AND THIS IS THE SINK CABINET.. IT SITS IN THE CORNER AND COMES OUT TO ONE SIDE TO MAKE THE LOWER PART OF THE DIVIDER BETWEEN MY LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN..

THIS PIC AND THE ONE ABOVE IT SHOWS SHADOWS OR WHERE THE SUN IS SHINNING IT.. ACTUALLY THE BEIGE IS THE LIGHTER COLOR THAT YOU SEE ON THEM (AND THANKFULLY THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE LIGHT AND DARK SPOTS.. THE ROOSTER LOOKS BLANKED RIGHT OFF OF MY RUG AT THE SINK AND THE FLOOR IS TILE..

THIS WAS THE "FINISHING TOUCH" AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED.. ACTUALLY THE COLORS ARE WRONG ON THE PICTURE (TAKEN WITH MY CELL PHONE) THE CABINET BASE AND JUST BEHIND THE DOOR ARE ACTUALLY ABOUT THE COLOR OF THIS FONT CALLED "CANDY APPLE RED" AND THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CALLED WHISPERING WHEAT AND IT IS MUCH, MUCH LIGHTER THAN SHOWN HERE.. ANYWAY, YOU GET THE JEST OF IT... AND WE ARE THANKFUL TO BE DONE FINALLY! THANKS GOD!
