sink cabinet

We finished the sink cabinet for my classroom.  At Big Lots this past week, I found the only roll of contact paper in the store with kitchie, retro strawberries and snagged it up for the 3 year olds viewing pleasure. :D


I scoured my Hancock Fabrics for something that had bright, cheery and playful fabric...I think I found it...what do you think? lol  I will beg my Momma to help me make tie back panels for the front of the cabinet and maybe a kitchie towel too.  We have kinda a froggie thing going in our room.  And...we sing a song about the 5 lil river frogs floating on the river logs.

Can you remember the before of the stove and sink?  The faucet was birch, black and olden metal.  When I saw this bright silver can I knew I'd use it but it finally hit me to have the whole piece go silver and I think we nailed it.  I retired my shelf liner that got me thru 1/2 the school year.  I love it still.  It is on their shelves that are in the living center still.

 I love the way the faucet turned out.  And, check out the towel ring.  I looked over yesterday and the lil rascals had stuck a potted flower in that ring. lol  The living center changes every 2 weeks into a Dino bone lab...insect science lab, flower shop, pet grooming area...who knows.  They LOVE it!!

Every morning that they arrive they run to the living center to discover our newest set-up.  It is always a big hit.  This was a very rewarding effort for Hubby and I to under-take.

I am in the throws of preparing my own dining room for Easter Supper.  Pics soon.

lovin' from the oven

 I had fun over Spring break re-furbishing child furniture. I brought home a stove & sink cabinet from my pre-k classroom. I simply cannot stand how ugly all the cabinets look for the 3 yr olds..esp. from behind.  I often change the placement around and we see the backs.

 2 -- 50 cent placemats at BigLot is all it took to get my juices flowing.

We realized that the top was laminate and should simply be left alone and embellished.  We made the back look like it was white all along..inside too.

awwww...much better

Engine, engine #9...it is fire engine red now!!

We left the knobs alone too.

Sa-weeeeet!!
Sink cabinet will be complete next!  Their fav center is home living. :D
Love & Blessings for your Spring spruce-ups..

Blog changes

I made some changes to my Blogspot.  I don't know what to use for my Name/Title Banner.  I feel trapped by my html but don't want to start all over.  I still CANNOT figure out how to get my phone or tab to connect all my latest project photos to the computer so...I'm trying.  Our camera died way back in the Fall.

We are smack-dab  in the throws of Spring baseball around here.  Hubby is coaching youngest in his last season of Little League and oldest started high school ball.  Had a big party for him & 17 teammates over Spring break.  They played ping-pong and had a blast.
