I like the mirror and we may paint the frame silver and keep it. But I love what's reflected it in even more. Definitely a keeper.
The cool built-ins:
The dresser and book shelf in Sam's room.

This great book case/ desk area in the entrance
The fab shelving in the upstairs closet
The cookie sheet cupboard boards.
The good care/ OCD-ness:
This shelf is anchored in the studs
and has the year it was built
and who it was built for
written on the side.

Just in case you forget...
There is so much awesomeness in this picture that it bears some explaining:
1. There is a shower curtain cut to fit over the window
2. Said shower curtain looks like it was from the 1950s
and looks as if it has been over the window ever since.
3. The window probably leaks...
4. ...seeing as how it has a makeshift gully and funnel
that ends in the drain.
5. We'll address this issue soon.

Random coolness:
Kitchen cabinets that open from both sides and allow sweet Jude to crawl through.
A workbench. Nuff said.
Another reminder
I think jotting notes to yourself on the walls is a good idea. I must admit that I do sometimes forget which faucet is hot and which is cold. I have also been known to try switching the light switch up and down just to remind myself which way is off and which way is on. Thanks for the tips...I can tell that this blog is going to be quite useful!
ReplyDeleteDebby, you make me smile. I have realized that as I grow older, those things aren't automatic anymore. I think I'm kind of glad Mr. C wrote it so I can get the benefit of seeing it without really acknowledging that I need it.
