    I could do with a cupboard like that to store my craft materials in. :p
    I love the way you're painting it - so much better than it used to be Bitta. You have a wonderful talent. The bottom panel is really beautiful. I can hardly wait to see the finished article.

    Someone bigger and greater than you and I, knew there would be a time when you would desperately need a project to work on. That's why you never started it before now. ;)

    Thank you again,, I have finished the top set of doors last night. so there is now just the sides and the one bottom door left to do. but today i have a birthday party to go to so i don't think i'll be painting today.

    Yep i beleive i was waiting until i needed something to do for days on end before i started that cupboard. Its made me laugh again,,

    It is wonderful, gorgeous, it looks professionally done. Your brightly colored dishes are perfect in there. The plates and mugs on the outside, are those the ones KB grabs when he comes home to find all the baked goods on the table?

    Soooooooooooo...... Lookie what you've gone and done! Now, that cupboard turned out even better than I thought. That natural wood colour with the stark white paint is absolutely beautiful. It gives such a clean and fresh appearance. Extremely professional looking, Biita. This gem was well worth the wait. Thank you enormously for showing it.

    Thank you, I had fun while i was working on it. Plus it gave me something to do since it still wasn't very pleasant to go out for long periods of time.

    lol,, yep he grabs those cake plates and cups for his goodies,,
    And you can see where in the entry hall is HIS work clothes basket. After he takes off his top layer of clothes he can come in,,lol.

    He gets that far into the house with them on huh? Well, I guess it's too cold out yet to expect him to take them off before coming in. ;)
