Before and After

This is our inspiration from Country Living magazine....they recommend using this cabinet in a kitchen needing more storage (who's kitchen doesn't needmore storage?)...paint the cabinet to match the built in cabinets, and they suggest painting the interior a different color for a surprise when the doors are open.  Don't overlook the interior space of the doors...as they have it, great organizational area for papers and keys.

 This cabinet was consigned today.  To me, it has the same country, rustic feel as the inspiration piece.  A quick coat of paint to match the room you need more storage, a coat of fun pain on the interior of the cabinet, and you have a great storage piece that could work in any room of the house!

This would make a great weekend project to really add value and organization to any room.

(Maybe this kids will even put their toys away??...We can dream, can't we?)

Heart Awareness Month

Did you know that more than 41 million women in America have heart disease? And that more women than men will die from it? In fact, it’s the leading health problem that kills women (not cancer—a common myth).

But the good news is that just five lifestyle guidelines—
*  moderate alcohol,
*  a healthy diet,
*  daily exercise,
*  normal body weight, and
*  not smoking
can cut your heart attack risk by a whopping 92%, according to a Swedish study of more than 24,000 women. Incorporating just the first two into your routine cuts your risk by more than half.

Thank you to Prevention Magazine for heart healthy tips
