We have the grooviest Tupperware in the history of Tupperware. It’s of the orange or yellow or av0cado series from the 70s or maybe 80s. I blogged years ago about always hooking with the partner who got the Tupperware from their last relationship. I did. I love my orange Tupperware. It works like a charm.ContinueContinue reading “Say Good-Bye to Tupperware My Dear”

7 Weeks on Saturday
We’ll be seven weeks into the kitchen project on Saturday. The contractor is getting tired of hearing from me. I’m getting used to having the kitchen table in the living room where we can watch the PBS News Hour during dinner. The house is a whirlwind disaster area. There just doesn’t seem to be muchContinueContinue reading “7 Weeks on Saturday”

No tiles were missing, but some were not adhered to the floor and others just kinda moved around in their spaces.ContinueContinue reading “Tiling Slam Dunk”

To cut to the chase, Hubby wanted to refinish the kitchen cupboards and so to ease me into the project we decided to refinish the pantry doors. It’s been 6 months since my last post onContinueContinue reading “Kitchen Cupboard Project Update”
The Day I Stripped… Paint
Remember how last winter we were going to refinish the kitchen cupboards but watched Six Feet Under and ate desserts instead? OK, we’re having a second go. Today we decided to sand down the pantry doors, which are painted. They’ve been off the pantry for almost a year now. After several minutes of sanding thatContinueContinue reading “The Day I Stripped… Paint”
