Detour part 3: Are we there yet?


Stop whining!  Sit down!  Leave your sister alone!  You just ate!  Why didn’t you “go” at the last rest stop?  Don’t make me come back there!

Okay, I admit it – my 2nd cabinet color choice turned into orange sherbet!  I’m assigning Cap’n 30% of the blame because he helped choose the color, but he wanted to just get the sample and I said it’d be fine, just get the whole gallon.  So it’s mostly my fault.

For color #3 (and 4) in the cabinet debacle, Cap’n caved and I got the dark color I originally wanted for the lower cabinets, and this time a “gaurnteed” off-white for the upper cabinets.  It’s taking a lot longer than I expected as I am juggling cooking, cleaning, and family events with emptying cabinets and drawers, two coats of paint, and reassembling doors and drawers in turn as they dry.

Nevertheless, I am LOVING the new look!  This weekend I’ll purchase materials for the window hangings and possibly the chair covers as well.  And I will continue painting, painting, painting!  It seems the journey is as pleasurable as anticipating the end result, and I love doing all the work myself.  It feels like such an accomplishment.

Now take your finger out of your brother’s nose and get back on your own side.
