restraint
In an effort to not post pics of the new stuff, I'll post some random images for perusal. :)
This is a new project of mine -- an old kitchen cupboard purchased out of the basement of one of the coolest vintage stores I've found yet. The owner was going to refinish it herself, but found I like to refinish old stuff and so we bought this "as is". I think I'll do it in slate and green milk paint. Oh, and we got a trunk and a hutch, too. I'll be up to my elbows in sandpaper in a few weeks!
This is the main area of the existing kitchen. I have a slight spice problem, I think. I love the apothecary-style spice bottles.
My very cute husband in Hawaii.
Massive ice fangs hanging outside the bathroom window. I took a real risk sticking my head out to photograph them.

We recently moved many of our spices to these gorgeous glass jars, which...to our surprise...actually freed up a lot of space!
That was a risky shot...you could have been de-ice-capated!
Every time I look at that cupboard I have all these great ideas for it. But I'm one of those people with great vision and poor follow-through. I'm confident it's in good hands with you.
I have a bit of a spice problem, too, but my parents take the cake on that one. Not only do they have the little cabinet above the stove, but also the drawers on either side of the stove, AND an entire half of the pantry full of spices! I usually pilfer my stuff from their stash. Heh, it's sort of like when you were a kid and you'd sneak a little something from the liquor cabinet and top the bottle off with water.
Those icicles are dangerously creepy. I wonder how many people a year are impaled by such things?
awwww! very sweet photos! love the kitchen decor--and that snapshot of the icicles is amazing! icicles do not exist in the south.
