I seem to have been out of touch lately, and am looking forward to getting back into all your lovely archives.<br /><br />You're pondering the same thing I've been thinking of off and on for YEARS. I've long wanted to paint a huge old knotty-pine hutch cream or white, and always said that when Daddy was gone, I'd probably paint it. He's been gone from us these ten years, and I've still not got around to getting it spruced up.<br /><br />It was one of the first pieces of furniture he made for our house when I was growing up---they built on a big dining room, with those groove-plank walls, like every den and family room of the Fifties, and the hutch was made of those boards, as well, with the huge old black what I call "stable strap" hinges and handles of that era.<br /><br />I always put it off when he was living, because he didn't like any kind of medding with wood---you could varnish it, but don't ever cover the wood. <br /><br />I've had the KILZ for the knots and the beautiful creamy paint for a couple of years now, and every year, I make an excuse---the Summer's too hot or nobody's here right now to carry it up and out of the house. I've even got a wonderful recipe for a crock-pot cleaning of all the hardware.<br /><br />And Sentiment DOES play the biggest part, doesn't it? It's just so hard to change things around, for a part of our clinging to all the memories is the taking care of THINGS associated with other times.<br /><br />I've just told myself this week that this is the TIME. I'm all prepared, and maybe I'll be READY.<br /><br />rachelRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-13875874478375742122014-07-09T13:42:52.205-07:002014-07-09T13:42:52.205-07:00Hi Cindy.

The first time you think about changing something that has memories behind it, it's really hard, but in the end you do have to do what moves you. And you will be happy..Have a good rest of the week..JudyJudy at GoldCountryCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282585980012016892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-52367693002892071682014-07-09T06:56:53.823-07:002014-07-09T06:56:53.823-07:00Hi Cindy, I think you are very creative and I love...Hi Cindy, I think you are very creative and I love what you made! <br />As for a white kitchen-I'd say go for it girl. In fact, kitchen and baths are the only place I think one should paint solid wood(in my humble opinion). We've always had oak cabinets, furniture etc and oak is out of style now, so why not.<br />Let us know what you decide. I think your hubby would have been fine with your doing something different.<br />Hugs, NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-50828386489970798022014-07-08T11:54:28.141-07:002014-07-08T11:54:28.141-07:00I think you did a great job with the sheet music, ...I think you did a great job with the sheet music, and the sign. The hooks with the red pot holders is a nice pop of color. I agree with everyone...give it some time to get used to. Then decide. <br />After my first husband passed away, I made some big changes. I needed to let go, and see what changes would be right for me. I love my white kitchen. It feels fresh. If that's what you want to try...then go for it. You will never know, unless you at least try.<br />Debbie<br />xoDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600235934416288679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-74755985400625781022014-07-08T08:07:36.108-07:002014-07-08T08:07:36.108-07:00That is such a cute idea to add something decorati...That is such a cute idea to add something decorative to that end of your cabinets. I would have to say you really are creative! You may want to give it some time before changing it. It takes me a while to adjust to new things in my home too. You may end up liking it after all. I personally love a white kitchen, so I think if you would prefer it too, then go for it!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938178631385143773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-42420456630426058762014-07-07T21:02:11.005-07:002014-07-07T21:02:11.005-07:00Oh yes!

Yes I think painting the cabinets will be wonderful. I am in the process of getting ready to do my kitchen since I painted every other room of cabinets in the house. The kitchen is the last to be done and I hope to finish this month.<br /><br />Good Luck, it will be gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your project and the inspiration.<br />BlessingsCelestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-2834725111108049692014-07-07T05:13:06.948-07:002014-07-07T05:13:06.948-07:00I think you DID great!

The words are very uplifting.<br /><br />While it is hard to make changes, I think you'll be happy making some. I think your husband would be happy with you painting the cabinets white.<br /><br />Before my husband left this planet, he told me that his workshop would now be mine and to do what I wanted with it. At first I did nothing but sob when I went in there to get a tool or supplies, but lately I've been thinking more about creating things in there. It all takes time and changes can be good and make us feel good too.<br /><br />You are an inspiration to me.<br /><br />Love and hugs to you ~ FlowerLady FlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648157664105577477.post-56926939993360022162014-07-07T05:04:40.742-07:002014-07-07T05:04:40.742-07:00I love what you've done in your kitchen.
