Deb and Kim asked about the cook book stand...I found it at the flea market last Memorial Day and after a trip to my husbands workshop, it is now being put to good use. I think it was probably an old music stand...
Since February is such a looooong month around here, it's the perfect time for a project. We've been wanting to give the kitchen a facelift, so this weekend we got started. Hopefully after some paint, 'new' countertops (using salvaged flooring), and a farmhouse sink, it will have a new, brighter look. And the goal is to do this all as frugally as possible!
This is one of the 'before' pictures, with one of the cabinet doors already removed ...
More pictures as we make some progress...

I have to stop waiting so long between visits. I've been missing tons of good stuff! Love those pedestals and the green cabinet. I refuse to comment on the cakes because I think I gained weight just looking at the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe cakes & other sweets look so yummy. They are making my mouth water. I have been reading your posts and enjoying it so much.
