Pssst. Kitchen Update.

post from The DIY Show Off on 13 February 2011 06:34:10 PM. © The DIY Show Off

There's progress going on in the kitchen! Here is a little of what we've been up to!

I wanted soapstone, but we needed something with less maintenance and a lower price. We chose a granite called "Jet Mist". The template has been made and our granite cut (Custom Marble & Granite). See the dark gray color with white veining?
GOOD BYE blue laminate!
As you know, we painted the cabinets.
Question: Have you distressed your painted kitchen cabinets? I'm doing a test on an old door this week to see how it goes/try a technique I hope will be cool. I'll keep you posted.
Before
After

GOOD BYE orange oak!

We have yet to pick out the flooring, but we know we're going with a dark Bamboo and keeping my fingers crossed that I can talk Mr. DIY into handscraped. We'll be heading to Flooring America and/or Lumber Liquidators this week.

GOOD BYE vinyl/linoleum!

Our kitchen faucet, sprayer, hot water and soap dispenser are from the Waterstone Towson suite. More to come on these...
And Mr. DIY can't help but dream of a new free standing refrigerator and freezer. We're looking into it...but still undecided on if it will happen (involves demo of existing pantry). It depends on where our budget is and if we'd rather go on a tropical vacation this year and live with our existing one for now. We'll be demo-ing the pantry either way so the floor is completed - we'll have more storage in the island and around the corner in a "Butler's Pantry" area coming sometime to a DIY house near you (ours).
I'd LOVE to have a farmhouse sink, but "compromise" makes a happy DIY couple so we're getting this stainless steel zero radius sink:
We're still going back and forth on the new wall color too. I want white/light. He loves contrast and color. I'll let you know who 'wins'. I've told you that I pretty much get to do what I like in this old farmhouse, right? Well, the kitchen is Mr. DIY's domain so it's important that he has a say in this room. He can't always see my vision, but he always loves the results. So, maybe I can get him to consider white...but probably not. ;)
We really do use the lazy susan spice loft...
We have new recess lighting and the $5 Habitat pot rack...
We're also going to have a kitchen island and we'll likely have help from our contractor since it'll need to support the weight of the slabs of marble that we found outside when we bought the house and I hope to use reclaimed barnwood. We also have plans to build a PB inspired console table with barnwood shelving above for the microwave, antique scales, antique meat grinder, etc.
More to come...hopefully a reveal by spring! :)

Warm Fuzzies

post from Aileen's Musings on 13 February 2011 04:35:16 PM. © Aileen's Musings

I wanted to share my feel good story with my blog buddies.I belong to Freecycle.org for my area and had posted the other day that we had an abundance of grapefruit ripe for the pickin' It really makes us feel bad that so many of them go to waste since our trees produce twice a year....We have both white and pink grapefruit trees. I have picked bags in the past and given them away and had few takers but its been a few years. This time I had posted a WANT for my sister of a used (but working) and inexpensive older Olympus Camedia 2020 Zoom camera(if you happen to have one let me know), and in order to post a WANT you have to post an OFFER...that's how Freecycle works. Anyhow, I digress..the point of this post is that I had several responses to my you pick grapefruit offer and received the nicest thank you messages back after they came and picked. It was not only about getting the grapefruit for themselves, but it also turned out to be the experience of picking them with their families. Normally as I said I would pick them and hang them on the fence for people to come by and pick up, but this time I didn't want to mess with picking them and I just let people know to bring their own bags and pick as many as they wanted. The best experience was watching one family who had a little boy put him on their shoulders to pick and hearing him laugh and giggle as he picked grapefruit, it was very sweet and gave my entire family warm fuzzies :-)

How to Backstitch

post from How to of the Day on 13 February 2011 04:35:00 PM. © How to of the Day

Backstitch is a stitch used in embroidery and sewing stitches. Stitches are sewn backwards to the direction of the sewing. They form lines and usually used to outline shapes or add detail to an embroidered picture. It's an especially suitable stitch for creating fine lines and details, as well as forming a foundation for combination stitches.
