1. those drawers on the top caught my eye

thought that was pretty cool, but then realized there is still a large triangle of wasted space on both sides so they aren't as clever as first impression.

2. Yes, indeed. I've got a kitchen to finish and outfit between now and March

and I'd never seen that solution to the problem of the corner cabinet...it's be easier than a lazy susan.

3. I love those corner drawers.

We have corner cabinets and I hate them. I'm getting too old to be down on my knees digging around for the pan I'm looking for.

4. We just finished our remodel

American Woodmark has a lot of those features. I went with the floor to ceiling pantry cabinet, double lazy susan (they twist separately. Spice organizer (drawer one) and a prebuilt cutlery drawer. I also have several top ofthe cabinet.

I seriously don't even know what to do with myself!

Another tip - next to my oven I have a tall thin cabinet - voila! Baking sheets proven solved.

I can't believe I walked into this house in July and literally put my hand through a cabinet floor.

7. Noooooo!

We closed October 12th on this 1909 Craftsman's build. We had our kitchen counters installed last Friday. We have opened doorways, removed plaster walls and replaced same plaster walls and guess what Scuba? We are only a quarter of the way done! just kidding . . . It's fun bringing this grand old home back to life. Probably not the right site for this -

But it was originally owned by Arthur Foran - then sold to his son Walter "Moose" Foran. We have pics from the historical society of "St. Ronnie Ate Here". Walter's brother Red and Ronnie were friends from their B Movie Actor days - and if you watch Boardwalk Empire - every Republican Politician portrayed in it - has been in this house and drank scotch and smoked cigars in what used to be the Pool (the game) house that is now my husband's art studio.

Tee hee! We are turning this "Red House" a bright shade of blue! But - his (Walter's) sons have said his parents would get a kick out of us living here. Their father and grandfather were men of their time for sure - but on race were progressive . . . They would get a kick out of a mixed race couple living on a prominent corner in this grand old house in this town . . . Because especially their grandfather was light years ahead of his times and Harding's approach to women and black Americans were why he was a proud Republican.

But we are still turning this red house blue!
