A message in the kitchen ...

A chalkboard pantry door - love it! I want to refinish the old pantry door in the kitchen to be something like the one pictured above.

In the kitchen ...

That's me about to make pizza for dinner tonight :) ... I LOVE this new/old kitchen of mine.

The kitchen - {then & now}

WOW!

Hanging the kitchen cabinet doors ...

WOW! :) ... I love how the black hinges look.

My Dad - the ultimate do-it-yourself expert! It was fun to spend Saturday morning together hanging the doors in this old kitchen. The old hinges that I took off the doors were too old to reuse - I had thought maybe I could spray paint them black and put them back up/on. It is a bit tricky to hang the doors with new hinges as they do not sit or attach exactly like the old ones. It took just over 2 hours to hang them all. And almost all of them need some tweaking with a saw so they sit right. Thanks so much Dad for all your love and support with this new (old) house of ours... I love you!
