I am going to do my kitchen at some point, but I have to finish the bathroom first. My ankle sprain sort of set things back a little. Good luck to you on your changes.reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826574738180604404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604987964698211457.post-38018244056623704912012-02-25T16:56:20.816-05:002012-02-25T16:56:20.816-05:00I liked your displays in your before pictures but ...I liked your displays in your before pictures but wow, what a difference it made when you brought all that down. The crocks were a wise choice. I miss having that space above the cabinets to decorate with. I love the color of your cabinets! The wall color you have with them blends beautifully with your prims. Mine are a boring oak finish, at least yours are a pretty color.<br /><br />It's a good time to be simplifying. The beginning of a new year always brings that about. I try so hard but I just can't seem to part with my prims. I do buy a lot less now than I used to. So I tell myself it's okay to hold on to what I have, lol.<br /><br />Looking good, girl~Angie Berry ~ Berry Homespun Primitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664447067172311957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604987964698211457.post-63336393358716014102012-02-25T15:45:19.843-05:002012-02-25T15:45:19.843-05:00Ann ~

My displays are quite minimal..and I thought..wow..everything looks so...clean! Lol..Maybe I'll do the same as I get things back out. I already have the back of my vehicle packed for goodwill!!

(And what I wouldn't do for space like that above my cupboards!) I love, love, love the coffee grinder and candle mold you had up there....Hope you're not parting with those....I have to work on my counters as well - we need a new sink, and the countertops should be redone too - but first I have to FIND my countertops. (grrrr....) Hope your weekend is filled with blessings and inspiration!

I am trying to convince JWS that we need to paint our cabinets also, not really getting anywhere although I do have him convinced to tear out the ones between the kitchen and family room. That's only taken a few years... <br />Have a great Saturday! <br /><br />CathyTolentreasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06824185306484314086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604987964698211457.post-69648659177176946632012-02-25T08:09:00.453-05:002012-02-25T08:09:00.453-05:00Since I deal and sell I have to purge every few mo...Since I deal and sell I have to purge every few months in the spring through fall or I get overwhelmed.I used to pile it up but have realized that the simple better pieces make more of a statement.My problem is I get attached sometimes, thus my sun porch and computer room are usually piled with "think about" things.I'm getting better though.Your simpler displays look wonderful.Warm Blessings!~AmyBumbleBeeLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605535783786407254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604987964698211457.post-11717472953636813552012-02-25T07:52:24.173-05:002012-02-25T07:52:24.173-05:00I go through stages, less is more, more is more, m...I go through stages, less is more, more is more, more is not enough!

...I have spent the past 2 days throwing out stuff. <br />Seriously. It was ridiculous. There is something about primitives that makes one collect, gather, and become over run LOL. I went through almost EVERYTHING, and only kept what I liked, and made only a small pile of "stuff I am not sure if I want to get rid of or not" pile. I feel soooo much better! From now on, I am going to be more discerning. I will display the nicest stuff, but the rest has got to go. I feel free. It is a LOT of work though. I am de-clutering too! :)Pamela@ The Sampler Makers Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318922640805242557noreply@blogger.com
