"Make Do" Re-do In Progress




Well, I’ve taken the plunge and removed the cabinet doors, all the hardware and peeled off the laminate and my kitchen is in a state of nakedness.  If you can call all the stuff in my cabinets being exposed for the world to see as naked.  Naked or not it looks like a lot of clutter to the eye.  Even the damaged cabinet doors of the “before” seem to look better than the “during”.    Although the cabinets have been cleand out and organized there is just something about letting it all be seen that sets me on edge.  It’s not streamlined and doesn’t look as orderly and clean as having cabinet doors hide all my stuff.

                                                     Striped "naked" doors

                                                                  and drawers



Everyone and anyone can enter my house and see we use store brand peanut butter & plastic beer glasses from the Titans football stadium (long story).  All the “I might need it again someday” items I’ve collected over the years and my large collection of cleaning supplies under the sink.


                                                      "Exposed - Nakedness"

I’m more motivated than I have been.  I have to be now, after all … ALL of my stuff is hanging out!  The hardest part to any job is getting started (don’t break my bubble – it’s a lie I like to tell myself).   Now that I have started I have NO choice except to follow through.

Tomorrow I go and by paint.  But for the rest of the today eating bon-bon’s and reading trashy romance novels sounds like a good plan.  Well, I’ll substitute the trashy romance novel for something more intelligent to read, but I like bon-bon’s.
