In the past week only one visible thing has been finished in the kitchen.
The floating shelves! I still need to repaint jar lids-they get a hammered pewter color which mimics the zinc lids on some of the antique jars and make labels. I like to have everything close at hand when I cook and bake so this arrangement works quite well for me.
I've finished painting the first set of doors and have begun the second. Found space for a few more this time and have found a way to shave a day off the whole process so I am hoping to finish all the doors by this time next week. I think I'll wait to hang them until they are all finished and the handles arrive.
I've also been stripping multiple layers of paint off the two windows I bought and Rob has made me a bookcase (for my cook books). All will need painted. I have the trim and my brother, Bobby, is going to rip some board for the kick space-that will need paint as well. I am really starting to hate this painting! But, things are coming together, thank goodness.
The counter(bench) tops are due in Tuesday, I say due in because I was told it was the earliest they would be here. The truck only comes once a week so if they don't come this week it will be the Tuesday after. I have all my fingers and toes crossed for this week!

I like the shelves.
The shleves look good and I hope we will get a close-up of the jar lids once they have been painted. It's a neat idea. It has been a lot of painting but it does look terrific! ann :-)
