I painted cabinets in my last rental becuase they were a horrible industrial/prison kitchen dirty taupe. I SWEAR the paint wasn't dry before we had to move. make the easiest fixes first, such as wall color and decor before you make a decision to paint cabinets.

Not hating, but the regrigerator makes my OCD twitch.

Re #2 Shelf and Drawer liners: After years as a restaurant owner I have been trained to never use liners. The health department says they make a perfect hiding place for bugs to breed and lay eggs, even the kind with an adhesive back. Shelf and drawer surfaces should be bare but washable. Save yourself the headache of fighting roaches.

The gift I most appreciate is the grocery store gift card! Especially if you have a "cool" grocery in your area. I have gotten these several times from my boss and I always use them for something I would not spend the money on otherwise like fabulous coffee, cheese or really expensive olive oil or maybe some delicacy to offer my house guests. My boss (another foodie) likes it when I tell him what litle tidbit I got and how much we enjoyed it.

In my family, a sandwich with all the trimmings is a "fat sammich" but one that is minus a garden fresh tomato is only a "pseudo fat".

I seriously love the woodwork. And the green kitchen. And Oneonta, Al. Y'all are too cute.

C'mon people, quit using the perjorative term "lazy susan". It's a "busy susan". Think about it, who's busting their ball bearings for you!
