WRAPPING UP THIS PROJECT NOW ON TO THE NEXT

I finally attached the crown moulding to the cabinets on the other side of the kitchen. See the corner below....It gave me Heck!!! I finally called it quits on trying to make it perfect and just caulked the heck out of it!!

See the bubble on the side of the cabinet below. Well, it's not really a bubble but a large misguided nail!! My bad!! That was another rip my own hair out moment!!!

I think that it has finally dawned on me why hubby gets so crabby when he's working on house projects.

So anyway...I'll give it a coat of paint tomorrow and I will officially be done. With this project anyway.......

Then I'm on to what you see below. This was my painted counter top. The paint was a quick fix until we actually got around to replacing it. I tore up the counter top today and picked up the tile you see from Lowes. I wanted the look of a solid surface stone on a next to nothing budget. Well this is what I came up with. Tile in Rialto white. It all cost me around $25. I didn't need any other supplies as we already have a tile saw, grout and adhesive. Somewhere down the road I think I will add a more decorative edge to the top of the tiles that make up the back splash and of course replace that faucet. I tried to talk Hubby into it today, but he was having none of it!! LOL.

Tomorrow Hubby gives me my first lesson with the tile saw!! If it's anything like the miter saw it should be a piece of cake!!

Oh, and I wanted to show you my bargain find of the week! I have wanted buffet lamps for forever, but didn't want to spend the money on them. Well, I was picking up some groceries at Walmart and I always have to do a quick up and down through the housewares department. Glad I did this time because they had these Better Homes and Gardens buffet lamps clearanced out for five dollars a piece!! I think that they look pretty darn nice for five bucks!!

I have also been rearranging as usual. I moved the kids silhouettes from above the couch to this smaller wall.
And hung my barn star above the couch. I'm not sure If I like it there. It seems a bit boring.

I used to have a mirror hanging where you see the picture below. When I moved the mirror I had to put something in its place because there is a big hole in the wall there where a sconce used to hang. Well, I could use a little advice on how to arrange things around this hole because it's driving me CRAZY!

I feel like I just rambled on like a crazy lady, but this is what has been happening around here over the past few days. I'm so glad the weekend is here and I can make my rounds and visit all of you lovely ladies and your blogs!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
