2025 Finish #16

Color changes of course.  And I didn't add all the floaters.  Only two were stitched at the edge to fill a gap (five were charted there).

Look at the bottom point ....


and notice how that light flower shows here.

Added a tiny smudge with a light brush from my stamp pad and blended out.  I didn't think it would be noticed otherwise and the point would appear naked.  I've done this often and if it looked obvious, I used it elsewhere in the mottling.  Most in this instance will be within the seam.

As for the kitchen, the fan is a Braun unit meant to be installed in existing cabinet or built in.  I couldn't find a complete hood unit that wasn't at least 20" deep.  




We cut out the surround we made to fit the addition.  Primed, ready to paint.  And the bottom of the cabinet where the fan is installed will be papered.

Two other features I like in my small kitchen is the cutting board slot,

and the rack cabinet above the fridge.  Our cabinets were never changed since building, just sanded, primed, painted, moved around. (Too lazy to paint the original oak inside this cabinet's doors.) 


I turned a small old box on its side to hold salt, pepper, and sugar.  The backsplash panels behind the stove have three coats of water based matte polyurethane.  Nothing sticks, wipes like glass.
The little fan I use is no longer available but there are many others on Amazon.  Most are listed as baby or stroller fans, not all have lights.  Mine lasts a very long time on a charge and was around $9.  

This post is a lot of stuff isn't it?  Sorry!

That's all folks.  
Hope your week is going swell.

I love everything about your "small" kitchen but, yes, I definitely covet the well-thought-out spaces for your cutting boards and your pans/sheet. I'll never, ever, show how mine are stored in a public forum (most likely ANY forum). I also love the little ledge on the opposite side of the cutting boards where, of course, you have the perfect little bottles. Berry looks great...I admit that I have also "adjusted" a few colors in my stitching by various methods. I don't do it often but most usually am glad I did it. Just trying to finish up watering outdoor plants...and, gee...looks like (uncalled-for) rain is going to start any minute. Ugh!

Your kitchen looks great, Marly, and I appreciate you pointing out your favorite parts. That's so interesting about you touching up the fabric to darken the whiter spots--never would have thought of that. I really like the colors in your berries! So much more realistic than the originals. You have such a great eye for colors! And I actually like your posts with lots of "stuff!" No need to apologize :)
