Looks great, Mark ! But where are the "before" pics so we can compare ?!?!

Lovin the relatively large, flat screen tv in the kitchen ! And that Clo... what a sweetie !

Just upgraded our kitchen, too. I'll try to post some pics later today.

 

lotsie- car's lookin good! yah, i like your car's simplicity too. :thumbups:

and WOW~! your kitchen looks fantastic!
now that would make cooking even more exciting. i like the color
combo too. very warm and cozy and very modern colors.

 

i decided im going to stay inside today and clean the house.
2F -16F windchill is getting kinda cold for me.

20F, no problem.
10F kinda cold.
0F cold.
-10F very cold.
-20F wat is this burning sensation?
-30F things are cooking over here, need to take my coat off.
-40F ........

 

You're smarter than I look, Ken.

 

hot coffee is good.

 

This is cold




Hey Ken my MINI is not simple, it has front mud flaps, and those vents on the bonnet are from an 04.

Then when my surprise Bday present gets here on Monday, watch out

Mark

 

lotsie- i thought the makers of those thermometers put -50F as a
joke.

interior mods are always fun...especially when you have
rare or original pieces.

 

wheew, just got done doing our matress sheets and vac'ing the house.
next do the kid's sheets and do the toilets.

too bad i cut my hand while organizing our closet...did a paper cut with
a shoe box. ouch. now i have to wear rubber gloves to do the
toilets. kinda looks like im going to work on my car with these.

 

I've been thinking of getting those kind of gloves for cold weather MINI washing. It's not really the washing that gets my hands cold, as I use warm water, but the drying. Thought I'd try those over some tight fitting wool gloves. Maybe with some hand warmers in them.

You're getting more and more OCDetailer by the day, Mark.

I'm really beginning to like you.

 

I'm just the Merry Moderator

i just got done doing 3 toilets, one bath, and one shower... and my
hand did not get wet at all. it's a little short for doing carwashes,
but for drying a car, household cleaning, etc. i think it will do just fine!

i use those bleach based cleaners so it kinda stings when it penetrates
open wound.

 

You know, it just hit me, how much of an oxymoron "Detailing Moderator" is around here...

 

there's detailing moderators and also detailing modulators, i suppose.
some people (not me) like to stir things up at times.

 

I'm small in stature, 5'-7", 150lbs, so I'm not an ox, but some days the moron part fits

Mark

 

Okay, here's a few shots of the upgraded kitchen.

Replaced the white stove with this black and stainless model. Love the double oven as we have used the smaller one on top several times already.



Here's the relatively new fridge. It's much larger than the white one that was in the house when we bought it last year.



And you can't replace the refrigerator and range without replacing the dishwasher:



Painted a six-inch wide red stripe around the top of the wall. I put a string of lights on top of those cupboards that backlight those decorator bottles at night... gorgeous.



And finally, some new valances that match the ones in the adjoining dining room:



ANYBODY surprised that our kitchen is done in black and red ?!?!?!

 

Yeah - I guess what I was thinking was:
a) the people that hang in the detailing forum don't typically engage in behavior that requires forum moderation (though mark is certainly welcome and appreciated!) and
b) the real point - there isn't anything "moderate" about ken and chris and theresa and melissa and <list other OCD'ers here>'s approach to detailing... nor do I think mark could "moderate" their detailing even if he had a firearm handy... they'd gang up on him and beat him to death with their microfiber towels...

 

Death by MicroFiber Towel... that's how I want to go when I'm 93 years old ! Monster Fluffies would be best, but I suppose that might be asking TOO much.

 

CR&PW&JB- wow, nice house! i can't wait until
my kids are older so that i can actually make my house into something
other than a darn kid's playpen. hopefully in the next
5-6yrs.

blimey- you make it sound like we're outta control!

 

I was out of control, thats why they made me a moderator, to control me

Very nice looking kitchen CR&PW&JB My but aren't we the domestic bunch Ken's doing toilets, and we all fret over how to wash towels
Mark

 

Thanks, guys. And yeah, we ARE quite the domestic bunch. And you know, I can not only take pictures of the kitchen, I actually know how to use it !

I'm very domesticated. Just don't ask me to sew anything. :impatient

 

Oooo the range/oven is niiiice! I want a double oven!

 

Oh yeah, Mel, that double oven is GREAT. Love the smaller oven on top, we use it often... more fuel efficient and it's nice not having it right there just below waist level.

Gotta get one !!
