Tuesday Happenings

***Update to this post***

I made a hasty ending to this post last night as I'd just found out Guss had dissapeared, thank goodness Tony found him not long after safe and sound. We were so worried as it was dark and the poor Guss doesn't appear to have many survival skills, I wonder why, do you think it's because we spoil him rotten?

I've added a photo below of my finished Cupboard door, I've just listed it on our website you can click here for details.

Thanks for coming over to visit

I need some ideas pleaseI came across this, I think Shot Glass Holder, it was originally stained brown.

I got to work and repainted it white, then added a pink rose.

The glasses came with it.

It's all finished and ready for me to list on our website

....what should I call it and what could you use it for???

The round holes are the wrong size for cup cakes

This was one vague idea I came up with

Here's another cupboard door I've been working on

I'd planned to finish it today but had a bit of a dissaster! The taps in our bathroom have been drip, drip, dripping, we're in a drought here so I thought it was about time something was done about them. I'm not sure how I managed to turn the slight drip into a constant full on flow of water from the tap....but I did. After several visits for advice, washers, o rings, lubricants and goodness knows what else, we have two perfectly working taps, I forget to say along the way the flood of water got into our vanity unit below the basin, can you imagine all the medications, makeup, shaving stuff, creams, etc etc.....all soggy....ahh what a mess

Now the positive side is.....I now know the workings of a domestic tap!!!!!!

Thanks for visiting

What to do with these cupboard doors?

My Dad had some renovations done to his kitchen, he replaced all of his cupboard doors, I was disgusted when he said he was going to take the old ones down to the tip! All ten (thereabouts) came home with me, I wasn't sure what I would do with them.

These cupboard doors are part of my childhood, along with the speckly laminated tubular aluminium legged table (very retro)

The kitchen was the centre of our family life, we always ate our Evening meal and of course brekky in the kitchen, there was no eating in front of the TV, the dining room was for special occasions only.

Sorry about the shadows on my photo

The doors are that wonderful soft vintage green colour

I've given the door a good sand, I've left the hinges on for a bit of interest

Of course the push button knob stayed on

I'm sorry my photos don't show up the lovely colour of the door

I still need to add a few finishing touches to my painting.

I remember many times creeping into the kitchen and sneaking that forbidden "before tea biscuit" ... I wonder if this was the cupboard door the biscuit tin lived behind??

Now all I need is some ideas for the rest of the doors, I thought a more retro theme would be good? Cupcakes also come to mind, pink mix masters...bit ambitious maybe

Ideas would be welcome
