BJ Bass thinks I’m crazy, but I have this idea. Our kitchen is in sad shape. Except for new-ish appliances, everything in there is original. Twenty-three years old. The cupboards were cheap to begin with, and they’re showing their age. We have so much to do to this house, that we don’t want to spend a ton of money on cosmetics. I had thought about painting the cupboards, and distressing them, and then along came this idea that won’t leave my head.

Remember the log cabin blanket I made for Hans and Laura? I was wandering around Etsy last week, and found this art print, which reminds me of the blanket. I am stuck on the idea of painting my kitchen cabinet doors to resemble these designs.

Mind you, I’ve never painted a thing in my life except my fingernails (badly) and a couple of walls in my house. But this doesn’t look terribly difficult. I think I’d use something like oil paints, to give it some texture, and then I’d have to put on a heavy coat of polyurethane to protect it.

Am I nuts?

I’ve been knitting and spinning, but I have to go clean the house now, so I’ll have to tell you about them later.
