miss do-it-yourself

...Yep, that is me. At least that is what I thought last night, while trying to finish my buffet cabinet. I was just pretty darn proud of myself. Then, the unthinkable happened--I had problems! The doors wouldn't all fit because the hinges were too big. Frustration building, I went in from the very warm garage from where I was working to the nice cool house where Seth was and asked him what he would think if I left some doors off. I wanted him to say, "That is a fantastic idea, Aimee. I think that would look very cool!"

Uh, no. That is not what he said, as you can imagine. This is engineer Seth, you know. He said basically that doors would be better.

So back to the garage. I thought a little and figured out a way to fit them. And I finished it. It looks pretty good-not professionally done-but pretty good. I will show a picture when I have it in the kitchen (right now it is still in the garage). And I still am proud that I did it all by myself and that I didn't hand the project over to Seth when I became frustrated.

Now that this project is over, I can safely say that I am glad it is done and I am glad I don't have to do anymore sanding and drilling! And I think Miss Do-It-Yourself is putting her tool belt, paint brushes and sandpaper away for awhile.
