getting it done...

As you can see I started painting the inside of my cup cabinet today. I'm not sure if it will take 2 coats to cover, but am waiting for first coat to dry at the moment.

I figure that if I paint one shelf a day, it'll only take 3 days to finish.  Now if I need to do 2 coats... well, we'll see.









The whole thing could be done easily in one day, but then I would have to find more space to put the displaced china.  At the moment I have relocated them to an upstairs bedroom dresser. Letting them lie about on open counters or tables is not an option when you have 6 cats chasing each other around the house.... at least not if you value your china.  This way I will replace the china on the dry finished shelf and start removing the cups from the next shelf.  There is a method in my madness... although DH doesn't always see it.

Posting color swatches...

OK, I took some color swatches and placed them around the cupboard.  What do you think?  Originally I was leaning towards a very light blue, but now the green seems to be taking hold.

I think because I have so much blue (from light to cobalt) in my kitchen, that perhaps the green would show off the cups better. Click on the pictures to make them larger... if it helps.

This is a very old cupboard that my friend and I found in East Texas a few years ago. It fit perfectly into this corner of our kitchen.

There's blue in the back splash and the stove's blue...  so maybe green would be better??? Can you look at this photo above (perhaps make it larger) and picture the back of the cupboard painted blue or green?

Oh, and I just bought this rooster lazy-susan at Tuesday Morning this week.  The colors fit so well. Now I'll have to give the wine barrel one that I had there originally to my daughter.

Guess that's it.  Not a very fascinating post, but it's what I'm up to at the moment.
