YEAH. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH HOW IT STARTS.



In case you can't read it:

Sally: You know what this kitchen needs?

Ted: Some reasurance that it's perfect just the way it is?

I sat down to the Sunday paper today and found myself rolling on the floor laughing hysterically over the first box of Sally Forths comic. It pretty much sums it up. What’s worse, I actually caught myself not 10 minutes later uttering “Hey babe look at this, maybe that’s what that window needs.”

So anyway here is what John did to the house in January:

Remember the uber bookcase from last winters hiatas?




“Babe, I just love this bookcase, but you know what it needs? A little balance.”

So hubby balanced the bookcase for me.



This next idea was not mine, so you can’t criticize me and tell me I’m working my poor hubby to death. At least I don't think it was my idea. ... no, it was his, I'm pretty sure it was his.

“I think that space above the kitchen cabinets needs shelves…bring everthing together…yeah, that’s what it needs.”

So he built shelves. And we hoisted them into place.









You’re going to crap when you see what he’s been doing for the last 2 weeks.

Popo, no telling!

Holy crap-now I could totally live in the uberbookcase!! Hell, I could live above your cabinets. But I'm confused by the pics...did balancing it mean closing up an enitre hallway? Was it relocated elsewhere?

We just exteded it to the left kinda above and around the hallway. The room is just too big to get a pictures that explains it well.

so...what will go into those new kitchen shelves that require a 6'man and a very tall ladder to reach? Or dust?

BTW - your hubby is breaking the ultimate ladder rule: "Do not stand on or above this step."

Um...hmmm. I'm thinking fake foliage and other stuff that will survive with only a quarterly dusting.

Yeah, the hubby is a rebel that way.
