When the postman rings our doorbell – we the kids race to the door!
No child is allowed to open the front door unless the parents give their permission! (The trusty postman has seen us in our jammies more than most of our closest friends.)
Saturday, when he rang our trusty doorbell – I was in the shower.
How come every time I take a shower – people decide to ring our doorbell? I think there must be a neon sign on our house that states “Lana is taking her weekly shower! Ring Doorbell NOW!”
In other news:
We couldn’t paint the kitchen upper cabinets this weekend because the wind was outrageous and all the painting is done outside. But, I’ll share a few more pictures…
This lonely guy looks kind of short in this picture…let me show you where he will be placed after he gets some clothes on (aka paint.) I might call him, WALL-E.
Isn’t this better? He’s a big baby! He will hold coffee cups and party supplies. I can’t wait for him to be in our home. I’m such a proud Mommy!

The wood used was bought at a local lumberyard. It was much cheaper than a Box Store.
-
The type of wood that was used is called China Burch 3/4″ plywood. Each sheet was about $30.00 and we have thus far used 16.
-
The tools that were used a table saw, finish nailer, nails, wood glue, dado blade (cuts groove so one board can slide into another one), sander and lots of chocolate.
-
Our quality of cabinets is top of the line and total custom made.
Don’t count on the box store to be cheaper or better made.Calling around and getting prices is worth it!My hubs rocks at wood-working!The clothes dryer picks up pieces of wood shavings that the washer misses.Wood shavings can really hurt a person when retained on a bath towel from a washing machine.
Lana does take more than one shower a week.
To see the beginning of our Remodel go HERE!
Which type wood did you use to make the cabinet box? I will be building some soon and would like to know. Thank you.

We bought a foreclosed home and slowly redoing it to our liking. I HATE our cabinets but LOVE that the kitchen is HUGE!! I wish my hubby had the know-how and time to make me some cabinets. I am constantly price checking to persuade him for them to be the next project. No luck yet. Loved the shower bit….as a mom of five I was thinking “glad I am not the only one!” LOL, I do get a few more too. 🙂
Fantastic post! What a wonderful hubby you have. I just discovered your blog for the first time and have decided to become a follower. We are getting ready to start a major renovation on our “new” house, so I will probably be stopping back here a lot!
YAY!!! You are going to love the extra space. {{knuckle bumps}}
You are so crazy that is why I love you! Tell my fav. brother-in-law that he is AMAZING!!! At least I think so!!!!
Lots of Love!!
LOL! I love the once a week shower. The knob is beautiful and the cabinets are so exciting. You guys are doing an amazing job! Lisa~
Looking goooood! This is gonna be so exciting for you. Can you imagine when the last cupboard is nailed to the wall; when the last lick o’ paint has been brushed on; when the last speck of dust has been brushed away…well, maybe not the last one – that’s a never-ending one!
But one question….what are y’all gonna do with your time? All. that. spare. time. Ahem.
Love, Anne x
