A little change in the kitchen !

I've wanted to add a curtain panel on a lower cabinet for awhile now - but because they're new cabinets I felt wrong drilling holes into them for the hardware ( translation - I think that would be the straw that broke John's back )

So I simply bought a spring tension rod and used that instead -
I haven't even removed the door yet because I wasn't even sure if I'd like it

But I do !
I think I like it !
( I'm a little bit country )


The rings are too big for this purpose - I have to find smaller ones ( or get creative )
And I haven't even  removed the door because I may not like it tomorrow


Again I used a tablecloth - I simply folded it in half and the best part of that is?
I can whip it off when we're having supper LMHO !!!

What do you think?

Suzan says - Do you like it?
John says - I think it's better if I don't say anything at all
Suzan says - You don't like it?????
John says - Who hangs a table cloth on a cabinet door?
Suzan says - Half of the blogmosphere, that's who
John says - You all scare me

Here's the table cloth on the door in case you've forgotten - he shakes his head every time he walks by it.


I won't tell him I've just ordered another one from Amazon.....................but I may wrap MYSELF in the next one LOL


I found this jug over the holidays - and he doesn't get why I'm keeping wooden spoons in something
that's clearly meant for WATER either.


Have a wonderful Thursday everyone -
( by the way - I'm a little bit rock & roll too )
Big hugs,
Me

Property details

Property Details

Own a Piece of History.. The Ringling Mansion! A total of 4 parcels including the main home with over 6000 sq ft, a vacant lot, a 2 bdrm Cottage and the Carriage house with living quarters. The mansion boasts leaded glass windows, solid wood flrs and trim, large kitchen, butler pantry, 6 bdrms, a grand foyer and stairway, living rm, music rm, library with solid wood built ins. This property would be an incredible B & B, reception facility or museum. The possibilities are endless.

I love this wide hallway ( you could have a party in this space alone ) the details on the baluster's and those beams
( John loves the Grandfather clock ) 


Check out that built in with the arched window !





I'd have to paint all the millwork white - 
John and I argued over that ( if we don't find anything to argue about in our reality - sometimes we'll resort to fantasy ) 


This plaster ceiling looks just the ones in our last house!


Fireplace heaven !



Loving how sunlight floods this home !


Upstairs landing














I agree with the realtor - this would make an incredible B & B -  it should be enjoyed by as many people as possible, don't you think?

Again Cheryl - thanks so much for sharing the link to this beauty !
Have a wonderful day all 
Hugs, 
Me
