A Medicine Cabinet That Makes Me SMILE!




Dear Ones, Hello from HomeHaven!!! Welcome to my little place in the world via Blogland. $18 bought a medicine cabinet that my husband hung above the toilet in the main floor Powder Room. I liked the picture I had hanging, but seriously needed a cabinet to go where it was. Needed the storage.





This is a tiny morph for MET MONDAY hosted by Susan

Dear Susan, Thank you!!! Plez go by her place and view other Met Monday Projects.






How can a medicine cabinet make your heart sing and your eyes sparkle??? By going without one for 3 and a half years and SUDDENLY the thing is hanging and filled with sundries...ahhhhhhhh...I am a happy woman.




Originally the 1901ish Pantry that was added to our 1885 HomeHaven
morphed into a bathroom and is part of our two story Native Limestone House we call home that sits in the Kansas Flinthills. We bought HomeHaven 3 and a half years ago and are SLOWLY adding this and changing that.


I hope that within the next two years to paint the Powder Room a lighter color, hang some different curtains, and add some painted beaded board. For now a medicine cabinet will have to do. We're finishing up the Master Bedroom Ceiling and getting ready to rebuild the front porch.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you'll say howdy and visit again.
This is ~Deanna~ enjoying turning our house into a Home that's a Haven.



God Bless.

HI sweet Deanna!!!
isn't it nice to know that something so simple and useful can make one so happy!!!!
And I am thrilled to pieces that you got it and for such a great price!!!!
Your hubby is such an outstanding handy man!!!!
My guy can do and fix almost everything too and it sure is nice to have!!!!One of my neighbors, her hubby is smart, has a great important job, but cannot change a lightbulb or put salt in the water softner!!!He has no idea how to do these things!!!
She gets so frustrated having to wait for her Dad to do these things!!!!
So Praise God for handymen hubbies!!!
hugs,

Oh, this so reminds me of the medicine cabinet that was in our little house in western PA. The church couldn't pay us much, but provided a house when we went there to work right after college. The bathroom was huge, but no storage except the little cabinet like yours and a three-shelved "wash stand." Thanks for the memory! I love remodeling and restoring...I could watch people do it and read about it all day long! hehe

Hi Deanna! Thanks for commenting on my met project! I really like your medicine cabinet! Cute, love the glass knob! What part of the KS flint hills are you from? We're in Independence! What are the chances that we would post right next to each other on Met Monday, and live just down the highway from each other? :o) Amazing! Hope you have a beautiful day!

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
