Kitchen Blessings

Sanding and priming .
See my new stove?
This is what started the make-over:)

I had my drawer fronts refaced,
what a difference it made.

My sweet grandson!
I painted the island a completely
different color.

See my chicken's?
I love the wains coat we glued in the center
of each cabinet.

The brick board added the cozy
touch it needed.
See the red top rail?
 

See my antique oatmeal canister?

My long counter top.
Love the brick board.

My chandelier is my most favorite touch!

My heart has been so full of His love and grace!

 

This the most beautiful kitchen I

have ever had!

 

I feel blessed beyond

words!

 

Blessings, Roxy

 



Midlife Make-Over

A Cup Of Tea

 

I have now entered into the midlife kitchen make-over...

(Twilight music playing)

 

Now during this make-over no one has offered us a mini vacation,

while a whole crew comes in to do everything!

 

No,  just ourselves and our son and daughter in law,

also our oldest grandson.

 

We have the ceiling painted flat white,

 and most the walls done in bright yellow.

Sanding and painting my cupboards, a very pretty color

 called Chinking. But my island is done in a fresh

green color called Laurel.

All the side of the cabinets are done in a wains coat.

The top rail is in a satin Red color.

The style is really a French Country look.

 

This is a huge project,

 but it will be warm ,and have a cozy feeling when done!!

 

Ok, the moral of this story is this:

When in the thick of things on the first day of

this make-over. I was so exhausted and overwhelmed...

My sweet Amy brought me a cup of hot steaming

delicious Earl Gray tea, with cream and sugar.

It just about brought tears to my eyes.

I needed to be refreshed.

 

Let me encourage all of us,

We are our brothers keepers!

A cup of tea and and a encouraging word goes a long way.

 

We are blessed to have a son who can do all the precise cutting

and fixing almost everything:)

Blessings, Roxy



Country Kitchen...

My Sweet Amy 's Kitchen

I made new Curtains for her

Country kitchen.

Red and white curtains  "Just say Country"

Bright Red Walls...

I had just a ball making these curtains for my daughter in law's kitchen. She is such a blessing to me. She really loves to cook and bake! She brought over some yummy pumpkin bread. See what a little update in a kitchen can inspire!  We both love being keepers of our homes.

She is clothed with strength and dignity; She watches over the affairs of her household. Psalms 31

I have been blessed with a Daughter by marriage who has,

been such a source of strength and JOY to our family!


I think the picture in my head when I think of a country kitchen,
Inspires me to cook and bake and to just enjoy my kitchen!

Making your kitchen the hub and center of the Home is so important!

It is fun to update your kitchen curtains once in a while.
A pretty new bowl for the table with fruit in it!

Keeping the counters clean and de-cluttered helps so much!

Whether your kitchen is a country or modern in design or decorated;
It is so important for it to be cheery and have the items needed to prepare 
Nutritious foods and lovely atmosphere!

Regal Red Metal Chairs...

I wanted to post a picture of a couple of those red chairs, I told you all about that I have been painting this summer. Here they are!! I think I painted about 12 chairs, all Regal Red of course.

It started out fun until the fumes got to me and the snake incident. But the job had to be completed. My oldest grandson  was a huge help and my daughter in law come in at the end. She saved me and finished the last glider for me. That was painted a clean, crisp white.

We call it our outside living room. We do spend a lot of time outside sitting and eating Popsicle's.

Have a great day and be blessed.

Tools Of Yesterday...

I was just thinking how blessed we are to have all modern tools to work the land.

This is a perfect example, really this thing weighs a ton. It is just used now as a yard

decoration. One day, long ago, it was used to help and make their workload easier.

Our job is to continue to plant seeds for the harvest is near. He will give you ALL the

tools you will need!

My New And Improved Living Room...

Voila

After almost two weeks of painting and new wood floors, voila our new living room!

It was really worth all the work.
 Our son did all the wood floors and most everything else.

 My Hubby and I helped with the painting and painting and painting.

All good things take time and energy.

Which reminds me, I finally feel rested and can fully enjoy it!

I love new and improved most the time,
 Yet other times I want to say hey, what's wrong with the way things use to be?

Sometimes the things that our most familiar to us, help us to feel safe and a sense of home.

But I can truly say that the feeling I get when I see the results is (change can be good).

The Lord spoke a word to me in the beginning of this new year and it was "extravagant".

He truly wants to bless and prosper His children. He wants to give you the desires of your heart.
 I had been praying for almost a year about doing a wood floor and updating the colors.

He is a good God and He wants to give you good gifts.

"Home is where Your heart is"

After all, the word tells us to Be Home Makers or keepers of the home.

So making them cozy and comfy and beautiful is biblical.
