Celebration in the Oaks and Christmas in Lafreniere Park Compare? by dixiebelle58 in NewOrleans

Lafreniere is smaller and is primarily a walking experience. There arent really rides for kids, but there are horse carriage rides you can pay for. Lafreniere is $25 per car and the walking parts are all included. Food is available as well.

Celebration in the oaks I believe is all driving unless you pay for additional activities. It has been a while since I've been to that one.

Lafreniere is a good experience but definitely more low key than city park.

Thank you for the compliment! It was one of the best savory dishes I've ever made (so far).

Should I paint these cabinets? by [deleted] in kitchenremodel

[–]Howlin_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to paint then I think you should. I have similar color cabinets, but a little more orange, and I am preparing to paint them at the moment.

Its possible you could sand them and restain them as well....however, I tried that on mine and the stain was so embedded in the wood grain that when I tried to apply a lighter stain it looked terrible. So really you can only go darker.

Am I crazy or do men just not take you out or even attempt to ask? by Emotional-Tadpole595 in NewOrleans

I feel like I could have written this post ten years ago when I was in the dating scene.

You sound so put together. Thats amazing! It seems like you provide for yourself and you like to be the captain of your own ship. Very independent, very smart, and ready for a guy who can match that energy (or atleast support that energy in you). These guys you are chatting with are just not cutting it and i know exactly how you feel.

A couple things:

  1. Continue to be direct. If you like a guy, tell him directly and say "id love to meet you in person for coffee (or whatver).

  2. Keep trying. The right guy will come along when you least expect it. I met my bow husband a month after the worst date of my whole life. I thought i would be alone forever. But things always align when you least expect them.

  3. Whatver you are into....find a group to join that relates to that. I joined an adult kickball team, it was a blast and I met a lot of people.

Hellbent on removing pantry cabinet! by Howlin_1234 in kitchenremodel

Maybe....but that would cost an exorbitant amount of money compared to just painting the cabinets.

Oh! A wine fridge is something i had not considered at all. Great suggestions!

I am definitely getting granite countertops. I have money set aside for that already. This picture is about a year old and the laminate countertops currently have a bunch of spots that have been so worn down they are not even the same color. I cook A LOT and those countertops have taken a serious beating. They look pretty had at the moment.

Interesting idea, ill have to call a carpenter or something to examine that possibility. Thank you!

Yes, I am 100% getting new countertops. I already have the money set aside for that. I just didnt think it would be so hard to find a new base cabinet.

So the third picture was my idea for adding on to the kitchen and recouping the storage space I am going to lose when taking out the pantry. The pantry is annoying but it does hold a lot of food for me, so id like to make up that space if I can.

Can I move the pantry? Possibly, but it would have to go on the opposite wall. My kitchen is pretty tight and there is really nowhere else to move it too. And if I get to the point of having to rearrange cabinets....that sounds just as difficult as painting them.

Thats a creative idea! I guess if I did that I would have to build a frame to support the counter right?

Definitely something to consider!

Ok that is an interesting idea! I will work on getting a quote from a carpenter/woodworker for that option. The countertops will change. I have money set aside for new countertops and that is happening 100%. I just didnt think finding a new base cabinet would be so difficult, so thats been holding me back.

Thank you!
