Beautiful..... I love bright rooms. Our house has all white interior walls and white carpet as well. Never enough light for me.

Geez.  My husband just waited me out.  I don't even have a backsplash.  Don't want one.

You wait until the wanting stops.

Do you suppose that your wife is on  canadiankitchens.ca in the 'members cuisines' forum, letting other wives ooh and ahh over her new kitchen, all the while bragging about all she had to do was get rid of one of the ole mans clunkers? How about everytime you think about the car you dont have, she has to cook you something in her new kitchen! It'll make her think twice about asking you to redo the bedroom!

Looks great! I have a bathroom that needs to be renovated very soon and my wife has hinted about the kitchen. I need to find (and sell) about 3 more 59 Dodge D500's and I'd be all set!

Here's a shot of my 66 Grande Parisienne 427 factory 4 speed with factory transistorized ignition---

Do I miss that car? Yup, more than any other car I ever owned

Was it the right move selling the car to buy the organ? Yup, because it was a gift for my wife, the same wife who has never spoken a harsh word to me in over 20 years of marriage.

And please, no organ jokes........................biggrin
