A {fine} Hot Mess

I feel like I ought to have a ton more pics to go with my blog posts lately, but it’s just not happening. This isn’t to say I’m not taking photos, because I am it’s just that I never have time to take them off my camera. Then by the time I DO get them off – its like “meh” they don’t go with anything anymore. Plus I’m trying to figure out a better way to put photos on the blog that won’t KILL my server.

Since my Daddy is my host server (Thanks Daddy web-guru man!) I don’t want to crash his stuff. I’ve tried Photobucket, I’ve tried Flickr, but the free versions aren’t living up to my needs any more. SmugMug is great but you have to pay. Help!!

Do y’all have any suggestions?

It’s a hot mess and I have the t-shirt to prove it!

So I’ve had it in my head lately that the house needs to be fixed like RIGHT.NOW. I’m tired of living with nasty linoleum, gray trim everything, and most importantly gray cabinet everything.

So two weekends ago I had my Daddy help me remove all the doors, etc to the kitchen cabinets and primed everything. I went with the theory that since Alex was out-of-town, if he came home to that he’d want to finish it too. I was semi-right. He wanted it done too, he just had no intention of doing the work.

So this past weekend I tapped off everything I could think of, had Alex move the stinkin’ fridge, and then a really awesome friend and I painted. Y’all remember what they looked like right?

 Y’all its glorious! I have white kitchen cabinets.

The best part? After getting this far and knowing I have this next weekend to finish the doors and such Alex hopped on the “Let’s Do This!” bandwagon by voicing opinions on what hardware we should use to finish our kitchen. I’m so stoked.

We know we want brushed satin nickel hardware and simple style, because we’re pretty simple. The one “pop” I was considering was adding something to the inserts of the upper doors.

Something like this:

Only I’d like to use this sheet metal I found at Home Depot. I think it might really look good as a “decorative accent.”

      What good would white inserts do to provide a contrast?? That is what we are going for…contrast on the upper doors. This will overlay on the wood not replace it!

  2. Hi Stephanie, first let me say although you have that hot mess t shirt on you still look great but let me tell you I love your choice on the sheet metal from home depot I think it’s a very good choice I think you should go with your gut because it’s going to look great. I can’t wait to see the finish results. Furthermore I wish I had an answer to your photos host question but unfortunately I don’t at the moment but I will be on the look for ya. Great post keep up the good work!

  3. I think that looks great and I love the idea! Also, I just use Flickr and have never had an issue – in fact, I’m so technologically ignorant that I can’t figure out what issue you could have!
