A Quick Back Splash Solution


Good morning everyone ♥

Well it looks like I only a day or two left in the kitchen before I can show it all - but for now I thought I'd share my quick back splash solution :)

Money's running out - patience has already run out - I want it DONE - sooooo.....................

I had a mirror I bought many years ago - which kind of has an industrial look to it - 

and lo and behold it fit in perfectly between the top of the stove and the hood -
( we're shopping for a new stove but in the meantime I needed to put something up there ) 


Before anyone warns me that I'll be cleaning it all the time - I'm aware of that LOL - but I'd be cleaning white subway tiles ( which is what will be placed over that entire wall eventually ) all the time anyway


And I'm thinking of painting that back wall a very very deep charcoal ( almost black and only the back wall )  until the tiles go up - so much for that "all white house" I was going for - blacks and grey are very hard for me to stay away from.

Remember how that wall looked from the sellers MLS photo?


I should look at that photo more often maybe - every time I'm discouraged at least - it makes me realize how far we've actually come ( instead of whining that it's not moving fast enough - fingers clicking here - c'mon c'mon let's go  )  This was such a major major job - with many nasty surprises along the way - a nightmare if the truth be known - but it's slowly - very slowly becoming more of a dream every day!

John says - WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING NOW?
Suzan says - I'm taking a selfie
John says - A what?
Suzan says - A selfie - you're so not with it
John says - Why would you do that - I can take a picture of you
Suzan says - Then it wouldn't be a selfie - sheesh - I have to explain everything to you
John says - I don't get it - what's the point
Suzan says - I don't get it either - but if everyone else is doing it I don't want to be left out
Suzan says - I don't want to be one of those people that doesn't keep up with the times
Suzan says - All the young people do it all over social media
John says - Uh Huh - all the YOUNG people do it, gotcha ..................

This took about 356 photos to get - and I still couldn't get my face................


♪ Flapping my arms I began to cluck
look at me - I'm the disco duck
Disco, Disco duck ♪


Suzan says - Look what I did
John says - Well that's cool - it looks like your holding a photo of your head up - how did you do that?
Suzan says - I'M A GENIUS - I KEEP TELLING YOU THAT!
John says - I have to tell ya, I'm impressed

Go figure - I can paint 6 pieces of furniture in a week - while renovating....................and nothing
nada - zilch
I run to pic monkey and do this and he's impressed.

But that's my first and last selfie................I'm too old for this crap LOL

Have a great Monday all
