Our New Kitchen

Our kitchen is finished, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Yes, that's the same tile on the counter as on the floor. I liked it so much that I wanted it up on the counters too. And for quite awhile I've been wanting to use the 'tin' on the backsplash. I picked out the bullnose tile trim on the counter, & then had to go to three different stores to get enough. Yes, I plan to change out or paint the door/drawer pulls. And someday we might refinish the cabinets. But it's all good now. Our friend did a really good job.

Not Very Glamorous


OK, it's not too glamorous to hang-dry your laundry, but a few years ago when I did it consistently, it was saving $20 per month on the electric bill. I just started doing it again recently. Of course, I machine dry the dress clothes & a few other things.
