yup was looking online and couldnt belive the prices, insanity.
i think ive decided if im going to be bainting the floor and upper cabinates white i want a splash of color in the backsplash..so no i have to figure out how to do "copper" without the price of cooper sheeting.
had the idea of using pennies (would cost me about $42 in pennies to do the entire are i want...less if i space them further apart) plus the glue and the grout and a sealant becuse i woudlnt want it eventually going black/green and yucky lol
looked it up and someone else has already done it
but how cool does that look?!
copper paint makes a little more sense but its quite expensive, trying to figure out how much id need to cover the area...theres only about 30sqft to cover.
valspar makes a metal glaze/patina paint which over a copper colored paint could work and should cost aroudn about $20 to do. (plus tax and brushes) so thats going to be the method i take. ill also be spraying the pulls in a high gloss white then painting the centers with the same copper)
and will bring the copper onto the floor in the border which im thinking a border of 6" green diamonds with 2" copper dimonds between them.
accents will be sunflower and Rooster themed so bright sunshiney yellow and red
i think the dark green countertop will work fine with the color scheme especially after the cabinates have been lightend up some right now it just looks dingy.
a nice new door, and mabe a new funcitoning window and some linnens in white with red and yellow accents, a pot rack to hang my red pots and pans i think itll look pretty dang...well pretty LOL.
in other news...poppy actually took 3 1/2-4oz from the bottle at lucnh time feeding...she was reluctant and it was slow going but its 1 more feeding and 3 more ounces she wasnt taking before...if i could get her up to 2 x 9oz and a few oz in the afternoon id be happy...she shoudl ideally be on 3 12-16oz bottles right now...
were getting there...shes slowly starting to trust me and enjoy my company a little i think. at least she doesnt panic and freek out when i try to touch her now lol
made some realy redneck looking pean teepees out of privvet brnaches today...who cares what they look like as long as they do the job right?! and once there covered in peas noone will see the branches anyway lol.
and dinner tonight is baked chicken with cornbread stuffing and sweet potatoe.
i nuke 1/2 a sweet potatoe in the microwave for about 3 1/2-4 mins, then scoop out all the innards carefully, mix those with butter salt and pepper and mush well before shoving it back into its skin. then i dust a little salt and brown sugar ontop and gently press it down. that gets set aside because it only needs about 10 mins in the oven to finnish it off.
the chicken (i like chicken thigh) i peel back the skin season (for me that means salt pepper and slightly crazy amounts of garlic...) then put the skin "back on and secure on the end and back with toothpicks (to make a pocket) in this pocket i shove simple stovetop sutffing wich i play with and add stuff too so its generally got extra garlic, salt, chives ect in it) make sure the skin is well secured as itl shrunk as its cooking and you want to keep the stuffing in there if possible)
into the oven for whatever temp and time is right for your meat minus about 10 mins...
when it goes ding put your sweet potatoe in there and turn it bac on for another 10 mins or so...the chicken jusices should be clear and the sugar on the sweet tater caramelizes and gives it a lslight crispness
I had it last night and it was delicious....so i decided to do it again tonight.
got ground beef out for tomorrow...who knows what that will turn into
and I wanted black), I had to use spray paint, then sealer. I just spray painted first, and it all started to scratch off, so I redid it and sealed it, and it held up great.
I didn't get to the flea market today on account of cooties
