Christmas Tree 2012

I had fun with my little girl today putting up our Tree.

Re-painting kitchen cabinets (my first DIY)

Last week I was in the mood for perspiration lol. The peak of summer is here , I'm ready to put sweats re-painting my kitchen low cabinets. Since this will be my very first DIY , I am expecting that it will not go smoothly as I what I have in my mind. I have no idea how to paint since I've never done it before. But why not try, so last saturday I decided that today is the day to re-paint this low side cabinets in my kitchen. I want them to turn white like my tall cup board but a "stained top". I think it turned out good (for me), I am enjoying them now and I'm very Happy.

These two are identical , i finished first the larger one and quite surprised! the sweats are worth it :D

 i can't wait to paint the smaller one...

became a coffee station

 .. this is my trash corner cabinet...

  i think stained it right..the amount of coats much better surface texture when you touch it..

 After i completed painting them...

 This is how they look in my little kitchen now...

 I love them everyday.

Hydrangeas

Hello.
We are still in rainy season here in Japan. Two weeks ago husband, Mappi and I visited our favourite park of Hydrangeas in the upper side of where we live. As usual I was very fascinated. Hydrangeas makes me appreciate and love rainy season.

My favourite variety.

Cool color.

The Beehive variety.

Pretty.

Though this is the very common one , I love this color so much.

 The hard working City staffs. I salute their half volunteerism spirit maintaining this beautiful city garden that we could enjoy every year.
