OK, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but people always like to add in their 2 cents.
I was originally going to paint this old laminate cabinet white, get some new hardware and call it done.Then I asked Chris if he would mind maybe, possibly, cutting me a piece of barnwood to go in the back of the shelf, just to make it extra pretty.

He suggested he just build me a whole new one out of barnwood.It didn’t hurt that I asked for help on a weekend night when Kennedy was away on a sleepover.If she’s sleeping at a friend’s house, Chris will do just about any DIY project for me for some reason.

I don’t get it, but that doesn’t mean I won’t take advantage of it!DIY party at our place!.

So Chris took the old one apart and reused all of the hardware (hinges, brackets, etc.)
to make the new one!.Can’t wait.. Let me show you around!.
This is the Summer view from right out the front door.That’s a real honest-to-goodness wheat field in all it’s golden glory.. There’s my (already) beloved barn out across the creek.. And a corn field!
All I really wanted was to have a house with a cornfield behind it.Of course next year it will be soy because of crop rotation and all that, but still… let me have this.. Chris and I were able to ditch the real estate agent for a few minutes and we took a walk around the property and along the corn field.
