For Auntie Cheryl

There is nothing better than a cowboy hat, some feathers and a pair of shades!!!! Except maybe a JEEP with the top off and some tunes cranked.

OK, I have the feathers attached...

Do you think I can fly now?

Christmas in July

Well, after three years of living in our current home, we are finally to a point of unpacking boxes which have been closed for about 4-5 years. Let me tell ya, Saturday was like Christmas. With the kitchen and dining room almost done, the area above the kitchen cabinets was waiting for "stuff" and the corner cabinet is getting new glass and then will be ready for her adornment. Here is the end result for the kitchen cabinets. As usual, Brett and I get so excited about nearing the end that we "semi finish" a project to the point of being able to put our "stuff" on display. For example, notice the ceiling above the cabinets are only painted out to the edge of the cabinets. Oh well, the house is really starting to feel like it is our home.

The next couple of pictures are a part of our collection of various types of old pottery, wood, tin and glass kitchen things.


The corner cupboard from the old 1700s plantation in FL with the wainscoting done.

A look at the transition from the living room to the dining room. The colors are quite a bit brighter than they really are, but you get the idea.
