Part one Kitchen Project done

 Good Morning. It's quite a nice day out, 0C with no wind and no rain. Lovely for walking and we even saw the eastern sky begin to brighten as we walked. It's the only time of the year when we can because in a few weeks we would have to leave the house at 6 or even earlier to capture that beautiful sight.

DH with the help of Youngest Son finished the first part of our little kitchen reno.  As you might remember the kitchen had a wallpaper border and  small crown mold which was painted brown.


We thought we'd see what happened if we left the border and painted right over it. Here it has had one coat of paint.


Once the second coat of paint was on DH made a small ledge and attached it to the wall. Now I can display some of  my saucer collection.

The ledge ends at the end of the cupboards. The ledge in the dining room is a wider one so I can have cups as well as matching saucers along that area.   That part was done a number of years ago.

That's it for today. I hope your week has been, and continues to be, a pleasant one.  

Thanks for visiting,   GM
