The Difference a Couple of Sticks Can Make!

The Difference a Couple of Sticks Can Make!

The Hubster spent yesterday evening and will spend part of today putting up trim sticks around the top of our kitchen cabinets. Now mind you a decent stick can cost about 6-10 dollars, but you only need a few.

Our cabinets were all just tacked to the wall when we got here w/a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of space at the top (no nothing was level) and it looked cheap and crappy for as long as we've been here and this year we'll start on year 7.

I've been after him nicely to put these up since day 1. At anyrate he's on it now and they look SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER! A tiny bit of trim and few nails and V.O.I.L.A. (that people is how you actually spell waaa-laaa) it looks freaking fantastic! Luxes it up nicely!

The fact that our house used to be a rent house is quickly fading into the sunset.

A few little details are what have helped majorly. Little things such as replacing all the old silver tone INSTITUTIONAL LOOK el-cheapest you could buy light fixtures w/brass and goldtone lighting fixtures.

Really they only cost a few dollars more and they make it look So Much NICER.

Little things like replacing all the light switch and outlet plugs w/brass plates. Simple and inexpensive lil' upgrades like these few trim sticks and things are beginning to make a turn around.

Shewwww, I'll be so glad to have this stuff done and off my honeyman-do-list!! Big Grin

Nothing looks sweeter to a woman than the sight of a man getting her 'PLEASE' list crossed off! YEAH HUBSTER!!! He says he's gotta keep the cook happy!



Guess I'll whack him on the shoulder more often! Big Grin

    Doesn't have to be a former rental house to be the cheapest of the cheap. I bought my house brand new but it was outfitted with all the cheapest materials, "builder's grade," they call it. Twelve years later I have YET to replace the light fixtures, but it will happen before I try to sell it.

    I'm at that same stage here.........trying to bring a 70's house up to speed. And, you are so right, just some little pieces here & there and it starts to feel more up to date. I had to switch out some of the main fixtures the first week I was here...............since they were SO bad. Took them down and didn't even replace them for a bit, they were so awful!
