Nesting Place



I did a Guest Post over at Nesting Place today! So when you get a chance, flap those wings and stop over at Miss Nester's blogspot!



I'm creating design plans in my Office again today, but Kevin is putting the finishing touches on the extra moulding on top of the kitchen cabinets, to make them look taller. I'll post the tutorial here very soon!

I look forward to your instructions on adding the crown to the cupboards. I am planning to do the same thing to an old Ikea bookcase. I plan on crackling the new paint but have to see if it will work over the blue Ikea finish.

I am soooo looking forward to the tutorial. I plan on doing something very similar to our cabinets. Sooner than Hubby thinks. ;) You are truly inspirational and I love watching what you do!! Have you heard from Deign Star yet??

I love the cabinets the way they are so I can not wait to see what else you guys do. I went and bought my paint today (Ramie and Grassland) so I have lots of painting to do!
