Willow Ridge Primitives

Make-Over Monday

Finally!!!!! This project has been a couple years in the making. I was about to give up hope.

Before

This is a picture taken of the built-in china hutch the day we moved in. Yikes! I lived with this for a year. A very very loooong year. Then hubby let me hire a cabinet maker to make me a new door. Yeah!!!

During

I lived with the new door and no shelves for over a year before I convinced the husband that I needed it done. It's maple and he HATES working with maple.

After

Then I broke it to him that I really wanted crown moulding above the cabinet. Yep! Another year he kept me waiting. When he finally realized that a  happy wife equals a happy life is when I got the crown moulding. There's a trick to cutting the stuff and it took some trial and error to get it right. But got it he did!

I told him now that he got it figured out it's time to start warming up to the idea of crown moulding in the livingroom. Afterall, we don't want his new found knowledge to go to waste.    ;o)

And just so you don't think he is doing ALL the work, he does the cutting and I do the sanding and stain and poly finish. Then we install together. All's fair in love and war, and remodeling!   :o)
