Update on the Pantry

I now have a new pantry unit in my kitchen! It's just not anchored to the wall yet, so I can't put anything in/on it!! *grin*  But that will come very soon, I hope (hint, hint, brother-in-law).

This is how I spent my Labor Day holiday--painting said pantry and then moving it (with the help of the brother-in-law) into the kitchen. I once again was covered in paint, though I don't believe I got any in my hair this time.

freshly painted--baseboard to be added later

Whilst I was finishing up the bottom shelf on the right, my 87 year old across-the-street neighbor walked over. He had been outside in his swing and saw me painting. Turns out, he knew my last name and knew my entire family back to my great-grandfather, of course. (And yes, that is a refrigerator on my carport. I promise I'm not that person!)

freshly moved in

As I said in my last post, doors will be added eventually, and some molding up top. The big section in the center will look a little something like this...

...once it's anchored and I can safely hang the picture in a central spot. 

 Yay! It's almost done! Thanks for stopping by!

Morning runs...

...are not for me!!!  I knew this, but I decided to try it anyway. Well it was very nearly disastrous! My legs just DO NOT want to work that way in the morning. About 10 minutes in, I nearly busted it. So I think I'll just stick with my runs in the late afternoon after I get home from work.

The really nice thing about a morning run--it wasn't nearly as hot as it is in the afternoon (of course). Plus, the humidity was low this morning until about 10:00. And, not as many dogs were out to bark at me! *grin* 

The other bad thing about a morning run--I come home to Julia Child on PBS Create cooking with Jacque Pepin...so then I was really really hungry!!

But, this also greeted me as I got back to my house...

...beautiful flowers, quality of pic not so great--it's an iPhone pic...but still pretty!

I'm going to try to paint the kitchen today--not sure how far I'll actually get, though. Wish me luck!

Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor 

was dressed like one of these."

Thanks for stopping by! 

Update...
Painted the back wall of the kitchen! Couldn't finish the bits by the doors (on the right side of each door, not visible in pic) because I didn't have any short roller covers *bleh* And, yeah, it's YELLOW!! BUT, most of the wall will be covered by a cabinet unit that will be built soon (hopefully) *grin*
