I Like to Paint

 

I was talking to my brother Mr Cabinetmaker about the painting I'm doing in my kitchen. "Oh, I open a can of paint, and I'm bored already" he said when I told him that I actually liked to paint. Too funny.

I mentioned to Julie that I had trouble painting because the shelves weren't far apart and my brush kept getting stuck. "Treat yourself to a brush with a shorter handle - life's too short to struggle." So I bought one when I bought a can of white (pure white) paint for the finish coat of the hutch.

Got home and painted the hutch. I didn't put more paint on the back or walls because the plan is to wallpaper that.

Here's what that might look like. You can see the new microwave.

OH! The vent on the new range hood works great! The old one didn't do much and my smoke detector used to go off whenever I used the broiler or grilled something on the stove even if I had the vent running.

Miss Pat mentioned how she was amazed that I got the things done that I want to get done. I have heard that before. My father was like that too. He used to outwork guys half his age. My mother always says she's amazed at all the stuff I accomplish. My son calls me the Energizer Bunny. I don't have any magic answer. It's just the way I am.

Apparently Wanda is rearranging too. She said it was like opening a can of worms. I want it to be done because I want my kitchen back  Hopefully everything will be done by the end of this week so I can FINALLY spend some serious time in the studio.
