Wow, I actually found something of value to someone other than me for a switch. LOL<BR/><BR/>Things aren't going great, but I'm trying to keep busy (distracted)<BR/><BR/>This week I managed to tear most of my kitchen apart! It started with the shelf I hung for the microwave above the stove. I discovered I hadn't anchored it properly and it is now pulling the plaster down in a major way! This led to the big switcheroo...<BR/><BR/>I had to clear a spot to move the microwave to in the interim since I've got to move the stove to repair the wall. Sooo, first I moved Susan's old buffet find into the kitchen (where the white bookshelf was) The contents of that were piled on my table/chairs, then the bookshelf was going into the bedroom, but I found it wouldn't support the TV so first I had to move the narrow white shelf that held all my coffee cups into the corner between my 2 bedroom windows to put the TV on. Of course after that, my bed was facing the wrong way! sooo I had to swap the bookshelves in my loft around so that the short one was on the other end for my reading Lamp! Whew!!! After I got the bed switched around, and the TV junk moved over i WAS SO EXHAUSTED I had to collapse! You've probably noticed by nowthat I have disrupted most of the rooms in th ehouse and not yet taken down the microwave shelf!! OH I forgot about the bathroom, I was in process of moving that shelf into the kitcen to replace the two where I had my coffee pot/toaster next to the window. Now though that I've had a day or two... to think about it I think I'm jsu tgonna call Joe and order some cabinets for that wall (tops and bottoms) I will try out my new masonry skills on tiling a counertop for it! (If Matt likes it, maybe he will let me do the sink side cabinets over... )<BR/>Last night I got about half of the table cleared off and will hopefully finish tonight! Then FINALLY I can take down the microwave fiasco that started this whole thing!!<BR/><BR/>With my next burst of energy/creativity I think I'll demo the built-in next to the stove and set the stove into that nook with new built-ins above it...<BR/><BR/>Ha Ha! probably a little more info than y ou were looking for!! You are one of the few who will actually be able to follow not only my convoluted logic, but the logistics as well!!!<BR/><BR/>Have a nice day chica!shakenbsishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12411796422393430028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4806125323228320552.post-55807361670159947582008-11-14T07:08:00.000-06:002008-11-14T07:08:00.000-06:00I love the urn!!

I was watching the antique road show on PBS the other night so the curious part of me had to look up your item (and by look up, I mean see if it is on E-Bay). There is one on E-Bay and they are asking $149.00 for it! Not trying to get you to sell it or anything--just letting you know it's a great find. Actually, it would be no matter what--I love the colors and style! Cool!<BR/><BR/>I haven't been on here in forever!

There are some mornings when seeing that would pave the way to a cheerful demeanor minutes before the caffeine pumped through the blood... and other mornings when I'd see it's irresistable cuteness, and give it a growly stinkeye. <BR/><BR/>I kid. It's so adorable I want to hug it! Why would anyone give that up?<BR/><BR/>Beernola... I can't even guess what that's going to taste like.
