I was not sure what to do this morning. A beautifuI day. A day off in fact! I was in the mood to slip on a skirt and T shirt, grab my purse and go shopping, but then I remembered, oh yeah, I’m trying to stay home more. 
I asked Fluffy what she would do if she were me and she said play around the goldfish pond. So I did that.
After killing and eating a few goldfish, I decided to go in and wash some clothes and just enjoy being home. (Just kidding about that first part.) I went into the “laundry room” (you’d have to see it) where I saw dozens of paint cans and I had an epiphany. I look at these paint cans every day, but today I actually saw them. You know what I mean? Anyway, my epiphany. Me. Off work. Unused, perfectly-good paint. Yucky cabinets in the kitchen.
Remind me to go ahead and go shopping next time, okay?
Well, my cabinets are nice and clean and bright now, but I do have paint in my hair. And painting the cabinets still doesn’t hide the crack in the linoleum.
Somewhere over the rainbow, my carpenter husband is a man who finds joy in coming home after work and doing even more carpentry in my house. Things like pulling up cracked linoleum and restoring the 80-some-year-old wood beneath. Be still my heart. But until then, I guess I can live with it. Yeah. I can.
Let’s go back to the garden where I find it easier to live with my old linoleum.
I never get tired of these. Never. I shall be blowing the seeds off of these when I am old, I hope.
A sweet little bloom. So perfect.

What a nice and productive way to spend your morning off! I love the color paint on your door and window trim!
I sort of like the cracked linolium…..sort of shabby chic, would you say?
Happy Wednesday to you!

You make it sound so easy “So I painted…” no fingers in the paint, no kids running through and knocking over the paint can, no “I couldn’t find the screwdriver to take the doors off”
The cabinets look great!
My cabinets need painting, the next day your off drive on up to VA and I would love to let you help! teehee.
Michele, I know the cracked linoleum is shabby, but I’m not sure about chic.
I am sure that I can tolerate for awhile longer though.
Well, Sheri, my children are getting a BIT older now and they don’t climb as much as they used to. You still have a real busy climber don’t you?
Anyway, two of mine were gone yesterday, so that made it 50% easier!
Thanks Andrea! I think they turned out looking at least cleaner and brighter!
Cindi, I would love to come and paint cabinets with you. Then you could tell me about the digital designs you do. I cannot imagine!
