Weekend Warriors

This weekend I got in a lot of work around the house.

My friend Katie came over and helped me paint the soon to be pantry in the kitchen nook.

I used the same color paint as the dining room.

 The previous owners left behind all the paint they used around the house and I found a full can of the green!

All the junk they have left behind in the house has actually turned out to be super handy!

We haven't had to run to the hardware store for anything really.

Every time we need  a tool, screw, wire, broom, shovel....lawn mower or drill press.... we just look in the basement and there it is!

 Like magic.

I needed a bucket and scrub brush for the porch and found that in the shed.

I needed a paint roller and a garden hose too, there it was.

On the down side ,the 2 ladders hanging in the shed fell down on top of Steve's motorcycle and broke off the mirror.

Here is the pantry before:

And after:

The kitchen ceiling before:

We ripped the cabinets out around the fridge to make room for our new extra large french door fridge! (Coming next weekend)

And after:

And with the new light fixture!

My mom and I spend Saturday fabric shopping for something I loved to use for curtains in the kitchen. I found a great vintage floral pattern we are adding a striped boarder too.

Then it was on to Lowe's for pots and soil so I could pot all the flowers Steve's mom and grandma brought me last week!

Here they are out front.

I hope it stays warm enough.

This weekend we are going to start striping the old 1910 cabinets from the basement to move and assemble in the pantry!

 I cant wait till it is done and the new fridge is in!
