have you ever started the day with an idea to clean?
you know, a deep clean kinda day.
this doesn't happen too often to me, but i am participating in the apartment therapy kitchen cure and this week is the "deep clean".

ever so innocently, i started clearing out my cupboards to purge and clean...
combining 2 weeks assignments into one.

next thing i know, i am at the hardware store buying paint.
next thing i know, i am pulling off cupboard doors and am painting.

of course, if i'm painting the inside of the cupboard then i need to touch up the white paint on the outside, which means i need to repaint the door fronts of most of the kitchen cupboards.
do you see where my day is going?
yes, there was espresso involved.
in my travels this morning a "new to me" pantry cupboard fell into my lap, so to speak....thank you dee.

next thing i know i am painting said cupboard.
next thing i know, i have decided to paint 2 side tables for the living room.
when john came home for dinner , i had the stove & fridge pulled away for the wall and was standing on a chair scrubbing the top on the fridge with an old toothbrush.
he asked if i was being punished which sent me into a fit of snorting laughter.
perhaps a bit much for one day.
perhaps.
but, boy oh boy, it does feel great to accomplish so much... yet there is so far to go.
my kitchen is still a big fat mess.
seriously, every counter and the table are full of "kitcheny things", the floor is damp for a partial mopping and the dinner dishes are piled in the sink.
i gotta go clean up.
