Sunday Night we experienced some crazy stormy weather! After the storm, the clouds were amazing! Thankfully, we had no damage to our homestead or the town!

A Kitchen Re-do!

 Before pictures

Removed the tile backsplash and Countertops

 

After

All original cabinets.  We just took down all doors and drawers, cleaned, painted and distressed fronts and face frames.  We added new hardware and we're done!

New butcher block countertops, Farmhouse sink and faucet.  We removed the lower corner cupboard to make more counter space!

Curtains made out of a tablecloth.  

Desk bought for $15.  Repainted, switched out hardware to match the rest of the kitchen.  Curtain added to hide recycling bins underneath.  We custom made the long bulletin board to fit above the desk.  

Minnesota Spring!

Planting Coffee Beans

 Start with green coffee beans, cups or something else to plant in, Perlite, and plastic wrap.

  Fill the cup or container about 1/3 full with the perlite.  Set one bean in the middle of the perlite.  Pour more perlite to cover the bean.  Water the bean and cover with plastic wrap to help retain the moisture.  Keep in a warm location.  We are keeping ours on the counter above the dishwasher.

Now, as with everything else, we wait...germination should take about 4 weeks!  We will post again in 4 weeks!
