John helped me rearrange them, so doors opened from the inside (I had them reversed, in my desperate search for wall studs in dense plaster). These were salvaged from the wall we took down last Christmas break between the kitchen and dinning room. A kitchen always needs more storage, right? I had to take down a couple of the clipboards, but it gave me space to put my favorite rolling pins!
And as I was decluttering, I found these purple bauble earrings. I vaguely remember Deb and I getting clip on earrings (from Mom one Christmas? Or Grandma Lucy?) and they were painful, but I kept these anyway, loved the color. We used them to play "Boss & Secretary." Which is funny to me now, working in an office...I looked at these painful clip ons and turned them into pierced earrings easily, couldn't figure out why I hadn't tried that years ago. 30+ year old costume jewelry is now wearable!

I should have been more patient, or more clear about my priorities. It would have been a better example.
I love the ear rings. I recently saw some with a wire over the ear, like a hearing aid, that look like pierced ear rings and are comfortable to wear. Unfortunately the were on someone, not in a store, so I don't know where one could buy them.
I love your dramatically lit cupboard shot!
It was my pleasure to help you realize your vision.
I remember those earrings! They look great. What an excellent idea to convert them to pierced. Piercing my ears is one of the best scary things I did. They have been much more low maintenance than I expected. I love earrings.
And I'm impressed with the cupboard hanging. I am glad that Mom taught us to tackle hard things that are bothering us rather than be content with inaction. It applies to more than house changing. I get stuck and comfortable too often.
