Week of White - Kitchens

Good morning everyone :)
We had a power outage last night - most of it was spent sitting in the living room with candles on
while I made hand puppets on the wall for a few hours before finally giving up and going to bed lol.

Soooo let's see now - we've done Living rooms - Bedrooms - Dining rooms - how about kitchens now?



into something more like this

I'll be incorporating this for sure ( you can see how this little table opens up to seat 6 HERE )


and how I came up with the idea to add the bottom shelf HERE

Have a wonderful weekend all - I'll announce the winner of Annie Sloan's autographed book on Monday so you still have time to enter HERE


John says - you can't paint an entire house white
Suzan says - why not?
John says - it'll end up looking like an institution
Suzan says - how strangely fitting...............................

Week of White - Dining Rooms

and here's the room that's inspiring those dreams - I'm sure in it's day that ceiling ( wallpapered between the beams ) was nice - but those days are gone and it's time to move one :)
The beams would stay dark by the way - and although I'd like it mostly white - I don't see this room completely white at all...................



One of my readers thought I was upset with her because I haven't replied to any comments -
OH NO - I JUST KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN
PLEASE know that I read them all - and I try to reply - I'm just so completely overwhelmed right now
with everything that's going on.....................

AND THEN ON TOP OF IT ALL I HAVE THIS TO CONTEND WITH

Suzan says - I need to pack up the book cases
John says - Why?  The movers will just take them as is
Suzan says - You've got to be kidding me, right?
John says - Well I'm not disassembling them, that's for sure
Suzan says - I NEED TO PACK UP THE BOOKS THAT ARE ON THE BOOKCASES!!!!!
John says - Oh, why didn't you say that then?

My fault I suppose - for not being clear

Suzan says - Do you think you can pick up some boxes so I can get started
John says - Sure..................

And he comes home with this size........................you can't tell from the photo so much but these boxes are almost as tall as I am


My fault I suppose - for not being clear

Suzan says - those boxes are too tall - the bottoms will give away - and they'll be too heavy to lift
John says - those boxes are perfect - we can fit a ton in each of them
Suzan says - please don't make me waste time proving myself again - they'll be too heavy to lift
Suzan says - we need something a little smaller

And he brings me home a ton of these..................


which fit approximately 5 books ( to let you know the scale - 2 tins of Annie Sloan paint would fit in them and that's it )

My fault I suppose - for not being clear

Suzan says - Do you think you could pick up another 10,000 of those boxes
John says - What are you talking about?
Suzan says - Well I can only fit 5 or 6 boxes in each one
John says - WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
John says - FIRST THEY'RE TOO BIG - AND THEN THEY'RE TOO SMALL

My fault I suppose - for not being clear

Suzan says - Surely there's a size out there somewhere - in between 5 books and 500 books
John says - aw leave me alone Suzan - Hockey just started - why don't you go blog about it?

And that's exactly what I decided to do..................

Until he finds me the size that's just perfect.
Now I know exactly how Goldilocks felt....................

( maybe I should just go to a moving warehouse and buy the proper sized boxes? well isn't that the strangest concept lol?  I come from a world where buying boxes is almost as insane as buying brand new furniture )
