While many parts of Texas were cleaning up from historic flooding and tornado damage on this Memorial Day weekend Sunday, we were fortunate to mostly get missed by the bad weather. We just got rain-another 2 1/2 inches-and some wind.

  The three-tiered flower bed looked a little beaten down in the morning, by mid-afternoon, it had perked up.

I also found a little time to strip some more paint off the cabinet. There’s still quite a bit to do, but at least it’s a little progress.

The more I strip it down to the wood, the more I’m thinking about refinishing it half in paint (the upper half) and half in stain (the lower half). Just not sure about colors. Any suggestions?
