Ok, so in our new place, double wide haven--yes, I'm queen of my double wide trailer, we have a small kitchen. When I say small, I mean small. Really small.
So I've been all over the internet trying to come up with ideas to make it all work. I mean, we're kitchen people! Have you seen my blog?! I have canning equipment up the wazoo, Dutch Ovens and cast iron pans galore. Two slow cookers, an electric griddle and frying pan. Mixers and blenders and choppers oh my! I have three boxes of spices people. And I'm talking full size boxes. Full size. Did I tell you that I have five (5) different kinds of choppers? Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head! I might have more somewhere. In a box that hasn't been unpacked yet--BECAUSE THERE IS NO ROOM TO PUT THEM IN MY KITCHEN.
So. In my realization that I have five different kinds of choppers, I thought to myself, "ya know, all I really need is a knife and a cutting board." "I don't have the room for five different kinds of choppers." "Well, at least not four." "Downsizing is GOOD."
Enter, fridge knife magnet. Excellent idea! Free up counter space from my knife crock AND cupboard space from my three choppers!
Where does my mind go always? DIY. Do-it-yourself. Always.
*sigh*
Pretty good idea in theory, but in my naivete, this is what happened...
And then this happened...

dining room built in
I have an idea why they call it a Built In. I think they put those glass shelves up and then built the rest around it. When I tried to take out those glass shelves to paint the inside of the hutch, I found that they weren't removable. Nope, no way, no how. I tried every way and angle possible and without breaking something those shelves were NOT coming out.

dining room before and after
So the home on our property is a 1976 Mobile Home. In the spirit of "Come what may and LOVE it", we are putting up our plastic pink flamingos and flying our trailer park flag high! Loud and proud baby! Loud. And. Proud.

Dis'l Dew Ranch
My hubby and I want to name our place. DeAna of Green Gables is out ( I DON'T know why!) and Green Acres might make people think we have lots of money *snort*, so one of my hubby's ideas is Dis'l Dew Ranch.
I think it fits. We'll see...
