Updating the Cloffice
Last fall during the Roomspiration Party, I hosted the Closet and Nooks portion and I revealed my cloffice in the new house but it was never quite finished.

Saturday I removed all the upper cabinet doors, removed the hinges and door knobs, filled the holes where the knobs currently were on the door, scraped off the rubber thing that keeps the door from hitting the frame […]
Kitchen Dreaming and Scheming Continues
Yesterday I shared some of my kitchen dreaming and scheming with you. After posting the hubby said I could paint all the cabinets gray. What?!?!
