THE DOOR



Three years ago Mark took down a wall between our kitchen and living room. A few months later I invited 35 people over for Thanksgiving. In setting up the tables and serving area I realized I did not have enough table space to serve from and the kitchen table was in the way. To solve this problem I resorted to the handy "food storage" method of decor! I placed a broken door from the girl's closet onto 8 wheat buckets and thus I created my extended counter top. I had Mark cut the door to size and for almost three years now my family has enjoyed many meals around the door! So, in tribute and gratitude to the door I am sharing a picture of it's final day at use in my home. May it rest in peace. I am sorry that the buckets had already been replaced so you no longer have the full effect. To be continued....stay tuned for the next edition "THE GRANITE"

The beloved door...what can I say? It was a faithful servant and friend. We are sorry to see it go.

It served its purpose and now it should be laid to rest... somewhere other than your kitchen! I am excited (and a bit envious) about the upcoming granite post

I LOVE the door! I don't think you'll miss it for long though...

I so love the new counter tops. Sigh. One of these days we'll get rid of our light teal laminate counters. I think you've convinced me to look into granite...
