Very busy weekend. My kitchen is finally looking better. Saturday I finished painting the kitchen, all I really have to do is a bit of touch up here and there where I got white on the black and black on the white and then start looking at flooring. I am also going to replace the blinds with curtains. I'm thinking cafe style, not too sure. I need to look online and see what they had in the 50s and see if I like the original style or use it for inspiration.
We had fun with trying to make the ice maker work. Seems the hose for the cold water under the sink was self sealing, so we couldn't get decent water flow. Hubby came up with an idea of putting in some copper pipe and then hooking everything up (had to replace the plastic hose with a new one, the old one of course had a hole in it). He got everything he needed and then promptly split the one brass nut, 10 minutes before the hardware store closed. So we were without cold water in the kitchen for the night.
We had a friend in to put an electrical outlet out on the porch and also a pass thru so we could hook up the generator if the power goes out. He looked at what hubby was trying to do, had a suggestion or two and had us up and running in no time. So this morning we had LOTS of ice in the bucket in the freezer.
So here are some fridge pics:
Did a bit of re-arranging of things, so more stuff is stored in the hall pantry so my shelves and fridge are less cluttered. Now I need to organize and list all the things I am putting up on our local freecycle list so I can get it out of the house.
