Good Medicine….Cabinet

Update: This blog has moved! You can check out this post here.

Our old rusty medicine cabinet had been bothering me for quite a while. Finally, I could not wait any longer. I had to do something about it, because it was ruining my mornings. I have a hard enough time waking up and getting to work on time, and I did not need this ugliness to make it any harder than it had to be.

How to Get a Divorce in 21 Easy Steps or How to Paint a Kitchen

It was Douglas’ idea to title the post this way. I must admit that things were a little hairy by the end of the weekend, but you will be happy to know that I unpacked my suitcases and Douglas is no longer filing for divorce. I jest, in case you thought I was serious. We are not truly in jeopardy of separation. We are, however, still sorting out a very young marriage. Many people have told me that the first year of marriage is difficult, and while we have not suffered great difficulty, we are still working things out. We both lived alone for many years and had become somewhat set in our ways. We will survive, especially if we can ever finish all of the projects in the house. Is that even a possibility?

This weekend we worked on the kitchen. Here is what it looked like pre-painting, or at least this is what it looked like in August 2012. You can check out the whole house here.

Weirdly Cool Kitty Lamp

Update: This blog has moved! You can check out this post here.

Early in the summer I was going to garage sales with my friend Krystal every weekend. We found a lot of “treasures” in our forays, especially Krystal who bought some great things for her one-year-old daughter. I found this lamp at an enormous church sale. As you can see from the tag in the picture, they were asking $11 for it. I think that Krystal was more than slightly mystified about why I wanted to buy it. I must admit that even I found it ugly in its original state, but I love cats and thought that I could make it look better.
