As I take you on a tour of the cabin your going to find that we have some ugly but necessary things in it! HA Today is going to be one of those days when you'll see this for yourself.
Right next to our little kitchen table you will see this UGLY piece. Now here's the "story" behind it....Because we spend to much time out at the cabin and because I have a crew that eats 24/7, we had to have something to cook and keep things cold. When Seth came home from college for the summer that little problem was taken care of. He brought his refrigerator and microwave from his dorm. It was either store them in a closet or put them to use. We decided on the latter.
Space, or lack of is really something there isn't in this small kitchen area. At first Keith was going put the refrig. in the bottom cabinets and set the microwave on the counter. We found out real fast if we did that there wouldn't be room for anything else. So, we drug out this horrible little cabinet that Keith had got for FREE when he bought some other things at an auction one time. My job was to try and make it blend in and look presentable...NOT an easy task!!!!
The first thing I did was to give it a good cleaning. I then brought out the same green paint I had painted the kitchen chairs with and started in. That poor thing took two coats and it still isn't anything to brag about. However, it does serve it's purpose and will stay there until we come up with something better.
On the bottom you will see a neat old dishpan that we just bought. I really like it and find it to be different than most my antique pans...This one is round and has handles! Fits in perfectly on this little shelf.
Well, another piece down, only a million more to go! HA Hugs, Sher

I think it looks great! I wish we lived closer and I would give you something that you might love to use. William bought the contents of a building on a farm at an auction because someone saw a snake and no one wanted to go look inside. Besides lots of tongue and groove hardwood flooring and boxes of dishes we found an old saltbox. Where they kept the meat way back when. It is made out of heavy wood and has a handmade door handle. The farmer that was in his 70's said it was his parents saltbox. I was going to make it into an entertainment center but never have.
