The Results. A Billion Years Later.

Leftover molding to cover up this lame space,

three coats of red paint,some door de-funkification,and I was finally ready to tackle this.I wanted those outlets gone without actually being....gone. {FYI: a half empty bucket of kitty litter doesn't work as well as clamps, which were no where to be found, or somebody actually holding the piece of wood, which wasn't happening either.}

{who likes staying on the line anyway?}

I cut out some wood and made something resembling a shelf, except not as pretty,

used a leftover from this demolition that I had no business beginning,painted it red to match the rest, and nailed it to the back. It's basically a primitive box that doesn't go all the way to the back of the cabinet, which means there's room behind it for cords. AND if we ever need to get back there, the box just slides out. Of course, like everything else, it looks better once it's been trimmed out.I'll go ahead and say it before anybody else does: why ask for people's opinions when you're not going to listen to them anyways? I really was going to keep the doors, but the moment I took them off to paint, I fell in love. I thought maybe after living with it for a few days I'd change my mind, but now I'm more smitten than ever.

Of course, a girl reserves the right to change her mind, and should I ever get tired of it, I still know where the screws are...
