Kitchen-- Slowly Getting It Done.. Making Kitchen Curtains

Kitchen  -- The  small opening [was a small side porch, that
we closed in.. It houses my upright freezer. It has shelves 
around it, that holds kitchen things. The extended shelf
that you see..still needs painting.. Slowly..it will get
done...smile
ps - sorry about the  cans of paint in the corner.. It too,
is waiting to paint the outside  [if the new siding ever
gets done? ha]
NOTE: click on photos to see enlarged photo

Dining area... The arch way comes off the big hall.
The door you see, is a small broom closet ..It too, has
shelves on one wall. It holds the extra paper towels,
cleaning supplies.

Kitchen.. Sorry I didnt get  photos of the cabinets..
When I downloaded my photos,  that one was too
blury to see. Anyway, I make the  curtains. I looked
everywhere for some teal/red curtains.. Never found any,
so  I made these. Simple..

How about some Chocolate chip/Pecan cookies?  and we will
drink  Diet Coke to offset------ all the calories. smile!!

Have a blessed day..

  4. You've certainly done a lot of work to make your cottage charming. You deserve to enjoy it! I'm sorry to hear about your septic problem - and that you have to lay more sod. So frustrating, expensive, and as you say, hard to do in the heat.

  5. I love your kitchen, Judy, and all that painted furniture! Have you ever used a sprayer? A. gave me a quick lesson, but that means I'll need to do it outside before winter...maybe I'll just paint (smile).

    1. Thank you Bless... It was really bad, when we bought this place.. the floors rotting out, the cabinets were awful...they were a dark stain on them.. and so greasy, I cleaned and cleaned them, to be able to paint them..eeeeh!!! The bottom halve was a very scratched up paneling.. We painted the bottom a light yellow and a white top. It really brightened things up. We added molding, as their was none in there.. The ceiling had to be replaced too.
      Wish you could come and eat some of these cookies with us.. This is a great recipe.
