lemon pudding and open shelving

for some reason lemon jello pudding = springtime for me

here are some random pictures of me making some at our old apartment

one of my favorite glass cups

the glamorous baby cup i call it

my glass collection has been growing bit by bit and i am trying to figure out a way to display them 

my friend A came over the other day with her darling children and took a look at the kitchen

folks its not pretty

but its not crazy terrible either

then a little miracle happened

A suggested to rip out one of the not-so-useful cabinets and put in 

open shelving!

its a bit of a dream for me

open shelving

oooohh

aaahhh

now, i need to convince ry that this is a fabulous idea

and then make a trip to ikea for some sweet shelves 

i will post the 'before' pictures soon

(there are a lot of 'before' pictures)

sometime in the coming months i will be refinishing the cabinets

what a project!

but i look forward to the finished result 

it will be so worth it! 

or so i think...
