A Really Awful Complete Cabinet Reshuffle

Posted on April 12, 2016 by colonialist

Though cabinets did look all right

They had an aspect to gall sight;

Because of dark lacquer

Their presence was blacker –

But now they’re looking quite all white.

They have gone paler in the mein.

They have gone paler in the mein.

      It took a bit more than a flap of a wand to achieve that!
      No, the slat effect is from burglar bars which are such a necessary feature in our excitingly lawless land. The miscreants still break burglar bars, though, and then gather to celebrate in housebreaker pubs.

        Gads, Sounds so familiar. Window bars common in some areas here, too. Not in this current location – but some builders now do not use opening windows anymore for that reason. Houses are becoming more and more defensive compound/old style haciendas – solid exterior opening into a center protected courtyard area. We seem to just be an endless loop with civilization.
        Robbery/burglary is considers an appropriate career for far too many.

    There is another type of cabinet which could do with a nice white spray paint job 😉

    Now all you need to do is spraypaint the TV screen a paler shade of white and Bingo! a full house!

      That is a thought – but, no, the white would then be a bit overbearing. I’d consider doing it in the same shade as the cabinet it is standing on, except that we don’t intend to keep the cabinet … 🙂
