I'm so happy for you and hubby. It's a lot of work but having him beside you is awesome. It just tickles me to see sweet couples work together. I'm happy for you.

[@brieoshiro]

Same. It's so sweet! My husband always says whatever hobby/job I have is his too b/c he supports me in it. It's awesome!

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you Charlotte! We really do like spending time and working together.

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

@@brieoshiro It really is awesome!

[@brieoshiro]

I think making a wooden surround for the stove to make it look more like a cabinet/shelf would be cool. Or just put one of those wooden things people make for their stoves. Plus you could make a video of you making it and possibly even sell some in your shop! You're handing with wooden items! You could stencil or use vinyl on them. The sinks are def useful for cleaning up after painting stuff and candles, but maybe put a wooden board over that area too? I def think there are ways to "hide" the area while keeping it useful to you. I love the rusty tin on the walls, it's so cool looking. I'm so excited for your shop! You are living my dream! It's hard work, but I think it'll def work out well for ya!

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Love the idea with the wood over the sink and stove!

[@joanhawkins8552]

The large machine type thing near the kitchen area looks like an industrial size ice maker.

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

That is what I thought too but it wasn't.

[@TeresaLuna-xx4ed]

Lots of work! You guys are doing an amazing job, I can not wait to see it with your finishing touches! You are going to have a wonderful place to sell your beautiful creations Sandy❤So happy for you❤XO

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you Teresa! It is a lot of work but also fun.

[@joanhawkins8552]

I love the old rusty tin.

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you Joan! Me too!

[@lisaogg6337]

I'd say y'all got a lot done!! It takes a while to do things and get things done. I love all the rusty tin and It's looking great!! How exciting!! Take care and God Bless y'all always

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you Lisa! You know I am having fun!!

[@kathynurick613]

Hi Sandy, I think you and lorean are making great progress. I hope you don't mind me sharing some decorating ideas. You had asked about a color for the front of counter. I like the corrugated tin in the store, so I think a rusty red color would be nice. I think the sinks will come in handy with your paints and bushes, so I think you will be happy with keeping those. Do you need the stove? Maybe that could come out? A thought about a covering to block the kitchen, maybe you could put up another fence on that side parallel with the other. It is really exciting to see a new business start from the ground up. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you so much for sharing your ideas! Love them!

[@dianebremer9408]

Looks good and I can't wait to see how it all turns out! I had a good laugh at the toad. He didn't even care that you were watching him! lol

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

I know...he didn't care one bit I was there. He did move just a bit when I scooted the ladder.

[@paulnickerson1845]

It's coming along quite nicely Sandy, I think it will be fabulous!!! I'm so happy for you!!

[@susanhaggart3675]

Sandy wow you two are making head way on the store. Looking forward to seeing it all done. I know it is going to be great. For what you have done so far is nice. I wish you and Hubby the best in this new venture.

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you Susan! We are enjoying working on it. Just hope I have enough stuff to make it look good!

[@shannonreeder2645]

I think i would put a skirt around the sinks, and put a board on top of the stove to help decorate. since your décor rustic I would paint the cabinets and cash register a apothecary green and your shingle covers a bright white and something really big on your fence

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Shannon, they are all good ideas! Thank you so much for your input. Love them!!!

[@kimgordoncrafts]

Also I love those blue chairs. The kitchen area looks great. Makes it feel kind of homey

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

I really never paid much attention to the chairs but everyone that comes in comments on them.

[@shellydehart8217]

Happy Sunday morning to you Sandy. Your store is coming along nicely. Loving how you used the rusty crusty galvanized tin. I have to agree with one of the comments about color. In the one area in front of the kitchen a reddish/orange (color of rust) would look good on the front of that blue counter. It would blend really good. Like how you used a section of a fence to close that one area. I have lots of faith in you in getting this decorated just the way you want it. You’re a very creative gal. Oh, I just thought of one area in the kitchen on the back wall where stove is it looks kinda bare. If you could find something big enough to help fill that wall I think it would help. Wishing only the best for you. God bless. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

It is a toss up between green and rusty red. And I am working on trying to cover sink and stove. So many good ideas are being shared with me!

[@denisebrown7575]

Since your country crafts probably a color like burgandy, navy or mustard would look great!

[@gertgerenser1975]

your making progress! looking great! i love the rusty tin on the walls!

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

I love the rusty tin too. I am thinking of making a faux mantel on another wall. That would be fun to decorate.

[@janeprice4185]

You'll make it look fabulous Sandie, Good Luck with your venture ❤

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank Jane! I am enjoying it too!

[@user-ux1xu4gd2w]

I like what you have done to the kitchen.

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you! It's still a work in progress.

[@priscillajones9978]

Wow… This adventure has to be exciting and I’m so happy for you 😊. Wished I could come down to see your new store. Would definitely help out if I could. I think a country green would look nice on your counter ❤️

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

I so wished you were here. We would be having a lot of fun! Miss you!

[@terryciavola5962]

It’s coming along great! Love what you are doing! Congratulations, can’t wait to see it finished! ❤️🥰

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you Terry! I can't wait to get it finished and really start crafting again.

[@dwanagriffith6701]

It's going to be a wonderful store, I am so excited for you .

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you! I am having lots of fun doing this.

[@missbonimeduridesidns1793]

It's looking good! I'll bet you're tired, but it'll be worth it. I wish you the best!❤

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

It will be worth it. I am having a blast doing it.

[@tammyaswell4562]

How exciting. Looking forward to watching how things progress. ❤

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you Tammy!

[@ReimaginedPast]

I think a medium to dark green would look nice on the blue counter front. It's looking great!! Love the corrugated tin. Very nice all around. Can't wait to see it completed. Be sure to post the store address when you open.

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

It is a toss up between green or rusty red for the counter. I will make sure to include the address when I am finished.

[@redtrain210]

It is looking great...I am so jealous...wish I could come help. The tin looks awesome

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Wish you could too!

[@lahomaworkman827]

You could put old doors on rollers to hide the kitchen. I have also seen them hung from the ceiling. I think rollers would work great for you .

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

If I could find the doors that would be neat!

[@lahomaworkman827]

If you have a restore near they might have some. Ours has them slot

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

@@lahomaworkman827We don’t have one near here. Sure wished we did!!!

[@lorrainelewandowski8737]

Awesome progress starting to take shape love 💗 this

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

I can't wait until it's finished!

[@tlcshandmadehayloft1448]

It's going to be beautiful!

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

I can't wait for the store to be finished!

[@redtrain210]

I commented to soon...I love the kitchen area and I hope all the stuff you bought in is for Sale.

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

No that stuff is mine. I might have to rethink what goes back there.

[@jillb8998]

Oh that’s going to be so nice 😁

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you!!!

[@rachellarsen939]

Great job to you both!! Looks good!!❤

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you!

[@kimgordoncrafts]

Looks great. If I lived closer to you I would help you

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you! I would take your help in a flash.. 😆

[@gabriellacorbin3415]

Good luck

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Thank you!

[@sophiakayph]

Earth tones

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

Yep! The blue counter is pretty but I don't really think it fits in.

[@duncanburl7586]

I love the tin. Why don't you use drop cloth for curtains. It is just a suggestion.

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

The drop cloth is a good idea. I do have a large burlap curtain too.

[@SusanNelson-rb1mb]

Have your husband put Tim up arond the stainless steel sink

[@sandyscountrycrafts]

That's an idea!
