Thanks to everyone.

Vee, I love that cabinet also. The cabinet in the middle on the right has an electric socket inside so that I have a place to hide stuff that has to be charged and the bottom cabinet on the right is where my trash can is.

Wow! WowWowWowWowWow! It looks great NT! The cabinets have so much wood grain, I'm surprised your dad found such good wood to make them with. The detail is wonderful. The hardware along with the tin backsplash just brings out the other great detailing. The floor is perfect, too. All that storage, a great triangular work pattern and nice countertop space for prep, it's all there. I'm very happy for you!

So glad you also found the problem in the microwave incident and got that cleared up. It's no telling what could have developed from that <shudder>.

My dad builds and is remodeling my parents rental, redoing two small bedrooms into one. The improvements on the property pay the rent. They are in a very old, small, two story house and don't need to be traipsing up and down the stairs. He took out most of the wall between the rooms and made one side for the closets and dressers while the other side will be for the bed and nightstand. The walls, closet and carpeted flooring are finished on the storage side. He is scraping and painting the bed side now.

Wow, that is truely amazing! How many cabinets do you have? I would love to have that much storage!

I just love the backsplash, did you find it somewhere that I can search online for other patterns. I will be redoing the counters in my kitchen soon and I love that idea for the backsplash.

Dipo, I have 2 large and 3 small drawers and think there are 38 cabinet doors.

I ordered the tin online from a place in Houston, The Tin Man. It was the only place I found with the star design.

Something that still blows me away is that the row of stars between the microwave and the top of the stove is perfectly centered. We could not have planned it that way and had it come out so good.

thanks NT that site has some cool options. So how is it cleaning wise, does it take special cleaners or just regular kitchen cleaners?

Neat that the stars aligned, LOL!

Dipo, I just wipe and dry. I wouldn't recommend anything abrasive to prevent scratching.

ROFLMAO!!!! I told Daddy about the nationwide tug-of-war over his skills and he was very flattered. I think I even saw him shake his feathers a little bit. And that's not even some of his best carpentry work.

While y'all have given me the opportunity, I just have to show off my most prized possession. Daddy made a my sis and I each a set.



And the rest of this week he and my mom will be showing off their green thumb as they and the orchid society they belong to host the American Orchid Society's 2007 Show.

Not that I'm proud of my parents by any means.

No offense, but screw you people, I live in a house that is over a hundred years old and my kitchen is original...the flooring is about 30+ years old..so I think NT's dad is going to come to Canada...plus the snow has melted and our pool has opened up, so he can swim and relax in the country during his time off. So there!

Oh that's really a neat Nativity. Sounds as if you have every reason to be proud of your parents!

Now I'm seriously jealous, NT!! Orchids!!! Tell your momma that I'm marrying your daddy!

The nativity scene is pretty (not that I know anything about 'em, but I do recognize lovely stained glass!).

And, sorry Skootz! He's staying south south SOUTH!!!!

Forget south, come to Canada - it will be a working vacation for him lol

The nativity set is just amazing NT, thanks ever so much for sharing his talent. My oldest brother does stained glass and it is amazing.

Costa, my parents have a huge greenhouse (built by guess who?) that is nothing but orchids. As a matter of fact, I was disappointed that I missed the orchid exhibit at the zoo by days.

My parents did go to Canada several years ago for an orchid show. My mom accidentally took her expired passport but customs let her through because of - and some of you will understand the humor her - her accent!

I really didn't mean to turn this into a thread about my parents.
