The most I could do is semi-clear glass doors and even then, I wouldn't have this on every cabinet. The last thing I want to think about is having to stack neatly!oilandgarlichttp://oilandgarlic.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-45275720068745718032013-04-22T06:17:50.822-07:002013-04-22T06:17:50.822-07:00I agree with you...it's definitely not for me....I agree with you...it's definitely not for me. There are some areas of a home that will be innately a little cluttered in appearance (like the kitchen utensil cupboard!) no matter how organized we are. It's very satisfying to be able to hide it all behind doors. <br /> <br />Now you're reminding me that I need to go through my kitchen cabinets!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828440573673170480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-73108426742611392122013-04-20T06:53:12.946-07:002013-04-20T06:53:12.946-07:00I like to set the bar low....guarantees success. :...I like to set the bar low....guarantees success. :)<br /><br />But please don't base a future reno on this one. With better planning (i.e. me starting painting before October), and being less picky it would never have taken this long.<br /><br />Mikko has hidden in a cabinet or two, but they've left it alone remarkably. It helps that they are senior citizens (15 and 16) and get into a lot less trouble these days. And the boyfriend's cat is younger, but is so obese he acts like a senior cat too (sad but true, we can't get him to lose weight).min hushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460666548836420815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-17307910631885666932013-04-20T06:48:11.981-07:002013-04-20T06:48:11.981-07:00Thanks Mary, I'm glad to know it's not jus...Thanks Mary, I'm glad to know it's not just us!! :)min hushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460666548836420815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-16410784120414473292013-04-20T00:28:33.363-07:002013-04-20T00:28:33.363-07:00I'm so glad you haven't murdered anyone, t...I'm so glad you haven't murdered anyone, that's a relief!<br /><br />Anyhow, this whole little saga has convinced me that perhaps I can live with my ugly kitchen a bit longer... I'm not so sure I'd be faring as well as you seem to be in the sanity department.<br /><br />And I'm totally with you in terms of the open cabinet thing. Not only would everything be covered with a layer of grease, dust and cat hair in very short order, but I'm pretty sure Smoky would see all those open shelves as an irresistible challenge. I mean, he woke me up in the middle of the night knocking pictures off the wall the other day, I shudder to think what he'd do with an entire kitchen full of stuff to destroy!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144616579963110201.post-87271128760488892132013-04-19T10:42:17.511-07:002013-04-19T10:42:17.511-07:00I watched Alfred Hitchcock Presents once and in hi...I watched Alfred Hitchcock Presents once and in his opening monologue he said, "Boxes! For the man who has everything but can't bear to look at it."<br />I could totally relate.<br />And no matter what anyone else tries to pretend: we ALL live in dusty/furry houses. In the years that I didn't own a cat at all my house was just as furry as when I owned two.marynoreply@blogger.com
