I love the cabinet. Very creative and so chic!!!! Wish I could find a cabinet like that. Was it part of a desk, like the hutch part, or a card catalog from a libray, you think?? Where did you get it? I love it.

I save seeds as well and I decopauged shoe boxes to put them in.

I think it might be a spice chest reproduction. It's very solid. I found it at a thrift store, years ago. I love your seed saver box. Did you use magazine pics?

Holleygarden, that is exactly what I was thinking about seeing them when they aren't blooming. Especially for new gardens, not established. I frequent the Antique forum (thanks to Ashdown, I was bit! :-)). I must have missed Juliets tale. My Dad is very sweet, so sweet I have given him a bunch of rose plants! Kinda like when I was doing Persian cat rescue, my parents ended up with a few. :-) He's glad I am into roses now... Trish, you better get a production line going! lol Are you up to 400 roses now? Whew! How awesome is it that your roses are a chick magnet! My boy is the same age (I believe) I am going to have to subliminally program him..... I am so happy for you! Right now my son is looking at my canes and leaves and finding leaves that don't look "well" and pointing them out like I am doing something wrong!! Niiice. As an aside, "Old Gray Cemetery Noisette" and La Marne(poly tea), both from Ashdown, have a couple blooms. The blooms and fragrance are AWESOME!!! The blooms on both last forever, on plant. I have NEVER smelled roses like this, just heaven. (I don't have the different rose smells down what so ever so I can't tell you what they are like, darn it.) Allison

Thanks everyone, for the kind words! This site is amazing. I really learned so many great tips by visiting here. Squirrelheaven- Thanks for the photoshopping!! I filed that in my clippings so I can refer to it. Where do we keep the nuts/? There are 4 of them currently residing in this joint!! Trying to keep out the rest of the nuts is the challenge, haa haa. Lauraa- yes, I used a foam 4"roller. I also used 1 1/2" good quality purdy brushes (angled). I would definitely recommend waiting til spring to do yours b/c it takes about 2 weeks or so with all the prep time and wait time in between coats. You dont want to be out in the garage for any length of time when its really cold. Momto4boys- if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer as best I can. I actually followed step-by-step instructions that I found in the paint forum under "Cabinet Coat" although I used SW paint. carriem25- love the temporary backsplash idea. Was considering changing out my 3D tiles and putting these in- what do you think?? I would take these kind out: and replace with these: Not sure how difficult it is to remove random tiles, that's something to consider. Oh yes, I definitely will replace the light fixture too, as someone had mentioned and I will put in some version of a track light. Thanks, again, everyone for your helpful input and suggestions!

Do I need to use Trim of some type with mini pebble tile
Q

Not sure exactly what you are saying: Will the backsplash end at the bottom of the window trim? If so, and if you aren't going to show photos of the granite or cabinets, or explain the style you are going for, I'd say no to any trim. Pebble can go many ways, from rustic to... I know you didn't ask for opinions on your choice of backsplash, but I'll have to support Sophie Wheeler that this will be so very hard to clean in a kitchen - be sure you love it enough to deal with this. Aside from splatters, I can just see all those little pebble tops gathering dust over time.

You can have one customized to size. Do you want this cabinet to be a mirrored medicine cabinet or do you just want a cabinet with no mirror?

Yes, I used magazine pieces that I cut out. I have so many gardening magazines, the ones I DON'T keep, so I started cutting away. I've had the boxes for several years now and love them. I'd also love to have a cabinet like you got. I have a table that someone sat out for the trash that is really nice, and I do all of my seed sorting there, and a cabinet like that would be perfect on it. Now I have something new to look for at our used furniture store! I usually go to those places with nothing in mind, but now I have something to add to my list to search for. I just love how you did that cabinet, though. I love the fairy girls. It was very creative how you placed them and all.

Isn't it amazing how we hang on to things we find only to finally do something with them years and years later!? I have so many things here that I hang on to for that very reason. Almost grabbed an older wooden kitchen chair my neighbor sat out for the garbage, and my husband prohibited me from running out to get it. Said it looked fine right where it was at. LOL But it was so tempting. I'm just running out of "storage" room for all my treasures!

Any other projects you're going to tackle?
