New Upper Cabinet to the right of Microwave

Well I was able to get one more cabinet for the kitchen, so I picked up the upper cabinet to the right of the microwave. I even put the whole thing together myself. Brad already had the hanging bar on the wall so, I was even able to hang it up myself and bolt it on.
Then Brad and I put all the doors and handles on together. We just found out that Ikea discontinued our Lansa handles we have have the fatter diameter. They still carry the skinny. So I stocked up on them since they are 50% off. I am going to go next week and get a few more so, we have all the right ones before they are gone...
It is so nice to be able to easily open all the cabinets. Oh how I love handles....

New Shade Plants

Well I was finally able to pick up $20 in plants and get more color in our front yard. This little planter has been a problem area so far. This pink plumeria tree is in and in full bloom right now and creates a lot of shade here. I thought this would be a full sun area because it is on the south side of the house. I planted a bunch of plants this spring that never came up. I did pick up a red hibiscus awhile back that has done well. So now I picked up a bunch of very colorful coleus plants and dispersed them in the bare patches. I am loving all the color there. I wonder how this will look when the plumeria tree has less leaves...
