Renovation : Dodd Style! Let's do the Kitchen

Hi and welcome to the second episode of Renovation: DODD STYLE!
Let's start with a picture of our new NYC style living area. Here it is..

This actually hasn't been that bad.. as you can see the new puppy, Carlos Santana Stitch Dodd's crate is right there on the couch. Boy is he traumatized by the sounds of the roof gun thingy and Shawn psychotically ripping up the floor.
But first before I scare you..LOOK.

Just seeing the toilet paper roll thing over by the door.. HAHAHA, that's because Shawn was about to put on the door handles to the shower, missed that in the pic..

Welcome back to the Great Depression, World War II, the age of aquarius and disco all rolled into one. Our kitchen Linoleum floor. There are 4 layers under the lovely hideous stuff that we've been walking on for 5 years.. this is the bottom layer. Cute in it's day. Reminds me of my great grandma's kitchen floor. And the smell reminds me of her garage.

Let's look up.. This is our tub up there and a beautiful three layer painted ceiling that Shawn has ripped up

This below will be the mud room, so to speak. The very small pantry is to the right and that's a 70's or early 80's version of the floor...

You can see that Big Daddy is pulling up the linoleum layer by layer and behind him you can see where the gorgeous oversized sage green awful cabinets were.. to the left is the new hula hoop plumbing coming out of the wall.. I'm told that will be covered as the kitchen is fixed..

Shawn needs his own show so he can be a Youtube sensation.. ahh but the language..

Oooh ceiling from the 70's or 50's or sometime long long ago.. gross..

AND LET'S NOT FORGET THE ROOF!!

The Little Anne of Green Gables House has a new deep green roof this time..

Look at this yard.. How does Shawn Dodd in the green do rag do it....

Can you spot the watermelon?

Ahhh Chez Dodd.. how I love you..

The Kingdom of Girls

Once upon a time there lived three girls. All were beautiful and all possessed different gifts. The Kingdom was all aglow with laughter and giggles for many years until one day the King stepped into the cavernous hall and heard nothing. "Wife!" he yelled."What has happened? Did everyone go into the village?" "Oh Honey" said the Queen stepping outside of her chamber wearing a bathrobe and her hair on top of her head. "They're not gone. They're teenagers." "What in God's name is a teenager?" shouted the King. "Oh dear." The queen remarked turning up her chalice of wine. "What isn't a teenager?"

Everyone is Creative

What is your deeply buried gift? Don’t think it’s not down there. It is. Something is going to help it rise to the surface. When I was a child, I dreamt of going to Hollywood and making movies. I remember specifically knowing what it must feel like to do that very thing, although I was in the middle of a rural ranchette in Texas. I carried around a video recorder the size of carry on luggage, which attached to a giant news station style camera, and I made movies. I can think of three or four different films that were lost forever in the 80’s. I remember shooting portraits of my cats sitting alongside cowboy hats, with a little 110 camera, and writing story after story and reading book after book. Talking into an old recorder with an English accent, singing at the top of my lungs as I played the piano. These are the snapshots of my childhood forty years ago. When I graduated from the theatre department at Baylor University, I was not ready emotionally and did...

Whipped Tail Pocket Pit

Ms. Idgie Threadgood Dodd has a permanent heart on her chest. Shawn has been talking about it, and I thought I noticed it, but I can really see it in this pic. I have no idea how it got there, maybe the fact she is kissed about seven hundred times a day by me, Grace and Shawn. Mariama and Holly don't kiss as much.. LOL its so fascinating. How DID it get there? Magic. In this pic she is watching well, everything in the park. Such a good girl.
