Decorating On The Prairie: Waiting For A Kitchen Redo




Welcome to my mess!
Some things you'll find in my Kitchen.  Still want order.

While I wait for a complete Kitchen REDO.......IN THE MEAN TIME
I'm thankful we have these sturdy metal shelves.  IN THE MEAN TIME.
Does in the mean time actually mean one is in a mean way?  Somedays are harder to take than others.  So in the MEAN TIME...I'm waiting for a Kitchen that takes on the appearance of a kitchen and not a warehouse.

WAITING is not always a easy thing to do.  WAITING sometimes requires that we be still and know that God is God.  WAITING may require taking deep breathes and praying.  WAITING may cause us to examine what we should be doing, could be doing, would be doing.  While WAITING for a finish to something or a change, we may have to busy ourselves doing other things.  WAITING.  The things I have learned while waiting are valuable LIFE LESSONS.  I've had to wait for remodeling on KITCHENS before during my marriage, but never for as long as this spell has taken.  When completed, I will appreciate all the more the ROOM CALLED THE KITCHEN.  What a wonderful room to have in one's HOME.

The Metal Racks will be recycled back into Home Haven elsewhere.  Either in the Garage or Basement.  That'll be nice.

I feel better when my Kitchen shelves are in order and the inside of my fridge is clean and orderly.  Just one of those things.

Writing for THE CHRISTIAN HOME magazine 

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength, 
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; 
they shall run, and not be weary; 
and they shall walk, and not faint.

What can I say? Most of us have to wait for something or other. But waiting for a kitchen re-do would be difficult!! You've got food ready to fix into something yummy for the tummies. Hope things move along quickly once they get started.♥♫

Hi Deanna,

All takes time, dear friend - I know it does in my house too.
Good luck with the kitchen redo and will be fabulous when you get it done and you won't know yourself.

Happy week
Hugs

I know exactly what you're going through! We lived without a kitchen for 6 weeks when we had ours re-done - microwave meals and washing dishes in a bathroom sink. Not fun, but sooo worth it! Hope things move smoothly for you!

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."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

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
