Yup. I assume I will have anchors into the wall and possibly floor.

Sway bars?

Gravity boots?

I knuckled under and bought a new sub woofer. Open box tho... Got a Polk that retails for $250 for $175.

Saturday night, me and the kids and Amanda watched Avatar. Better than the theater, I tells ya.

Went Goodwill trolling today and friday. Got a Calphalon frying pan, a couple clocks, a little cabinet for my spices..... More bowls...a lamp.... I think all I need now is a little dinette table and chairs.

Assembled in less than an hour, thank you.

Theres the bowls, ...and the spice cabinet is on top of the fridge behind the Victory growler.

Isn't it nice making a place your own!

Looks good!

I was curious about that built-in cabinet. I like it and wanted to see a full view of it. So I went back to the start of the thread, and got to see a picture there of it. But then I noticed from one of those early pictures that the refrigerator in a different spot. How huge is your kitchen that you are able to move the refrigerator around to different spots? Every kitchen I've ever had, there was only one spot where you could squeeze a fridge in place.

The fridge had to move cuz they put the dishwasher over in that corner. I never measured, but maybe 10x16? Not quite big enough to put a table and chairs in there.

The leaning desks came today. I can't seem to capture how completely awesome this looks in person. It even matches the shitty tv stand's finish. Pretty easy to assemble too.

@ choco---the grandfather/carpet story made me lol---for reeels.

jim--I LOVE IT! I esp. love that you have a picture of a hot dog AND a banana (I think it's a banana) in your kitchen.

Freud would have a field day with you.

I sincerely love your new place---and I covet that red kitchen thing-y. I covet it BAD.

oops--not a banana but a BANANA looking MOON slice. Same difference.

Freud would have a field day with you Trils!

*snickers*

But where dat hot dog? I don't see no hot dog!

#163 pic on the wall on the left is of a hot dog with writing beneath.

wassit say jim? Ketchup or Mustard? ;)

The truth hurts.






but it hurts so good.

OHHHH, hot dog!

You're so funny (and observant) Tril!

I think it says " come in and ketchup with the greatest "

hmm.. .looking at it, I don't think that's on that sign. I think that's on the Hamburger one. I've got old signs like that all over the walls. I'll snap some shots tonight.

Why are you bouncing about between logins?

:lol:

I have lumberjim logged into tapatalk, I think.....

I think it was jinx that started collecting these. But when she took what she wanted from the house in Elverson, she left them behind. I rescued them, and gave a couple away.... The kids each picked a couple.... I gave the fire truck one to my brother in law the EMT.... Campbells soup to Amanda, cuz her dad worked for them....But I'm still left with enough to make this kitchen look hip.

Very hip, now how will you make it ironic, grow muttonchops on the side of the fridge?

Ha! Excellent.

My mum has retro coffee shop signs in her house. One of them is a 'Fresh Coffee Served Here' sign and there's another with 'We're Open' hanging from a hook on the doorway into her kitchenette. She also has an antique 'Today's Specials' chalkboard.

I LOVE those signs! really cool. What does the half moon one say?

you're place is really cheery and cool. I LIKE!

I didn't realize how big these pics were coming out. Uploaded with tapatalk...

I wonder if my phone settings or tapatalk setting changed.

this one has LED lights that light up!



anyway... I caught these in time to edit

If I remember correctly, you can choose the size of your uploads, small, medium, large. See my food pix? They're size medium. I think it's a nice size, big but not too big.

I'm not seeing it in tapatalk's settings. Is that where you meant?

Usually when I go to upload each photo, it'll ask then.

Mine only asks where to host it

Do you put it on "this forum" or Tapatalk?

I choose to upload the pix onto the forum, then it asks what size do I want to post it.

I matched the red from the little cabinet, and painted the spice cabinet.

I'm beginning to wonder about you, you're awfully good at this interior decorating stuff. :eyebrow:

have you installed track lighting yet?

Looks great!

I'm in touch with my inner fagula, that's all.

thilly.

Attachment 44155

Whirrrrrrr

Attachment 44156

Much softer lighting

Attachment 44157

It even has a remote thermostat that turns it on when it gets warmer than the temperature you set it at. And by you, I mean me. Dont touch it.

Hey, that is cool.

Oh, and I painted the red part to match the kitchen, too. Actually, I painted two. The first one was missing ALL of the installation hardware, and had the wrong light kit inside. Home Despot swapped it with no receipt like it happens all the time.

I've had pretty good luck on customer service of late. It seems like all the businesses have realized that its an easy way to maintain a relationship with the consumer.

Nice color coordination there !

Took this one this morning...better lighting
