Out with the Old

 I am thinking of doing away with the gold (Danish Pine).  I had this painted five years ago and I am getting tired of it.

Hoping to do something more neutral.  This is Sherwin Williams Studio Taupe.  It looks gray here, but it really isn't. 

What I REALLY want to do is have our kitchen cabinets painted white and then glazed, BUT it will be $2200 at the least.

In other news..............

I had to take Kristen the cat to the vet Monday and it was VERY STRESSFUL!!!!  Just plain awful.  Trying to get her in the carrier is dreadful.  She kept hopping out of my reach.  I trapped her in the bathroom and got her in the crate.  Then she tried to kill the clinic staff.  They wrapped her in the armored blanket and she was making sounds that made me jump.  The loudest cat screams you have ever heard.  I take her to a clinic in a town about 30 minutes away.  They only see cats and the vet there has a degree in felines and feline geriatrics.  She is very smart and knows Kristen's history.  The past few times I have taken Kristen she always says,  "there are very good vets in your town that could treat Kristen.  I hate that you have to drive this far."  Monday she gave me the name of a few Drs in my town.  HA!  Is that a nice way of saying  NEVER BRING HER HERE AGAIN?  HAHAHA!!!!  I keep on taking her.

Kristen stunts of the week:  She  NEVER plays with a toy.  BUT, I threw an old razor out of the shower yesterday and of course she runs up to it, attacks it and BITES it.  I think she is fine.  I don't think it cut her.
