If only I had a robotic arm extension...

How many of you have those kitchen cabinets with the 
corner cupboards that go so far back that you would have to have a 4 foot arm
 to reach to the things you need in the back?
P.S. "Lazy Susan's" are not the answer here, yes those are helpful but they are not without their own problems. Things fall off them, way in the back, so your still unable to reach back there, and you aren't able to utilize the full space of the cabinet.
The Blue arrow above shows the depth of the cabinet. 
This angle shows the back side of the cabinet, the breakfast nook.

Another view from the front side of the cabinet. That opening is also a problem, hard to tell here but it is very narrow,  throughout the years I had to send my kids in to get what I needed.

More recently It's become a frustration of mine so I talked to Rick about opening up the back side so 
things would be easy to get at.... I'm not getting any younger, 
and contorting my body into this crevasse is not fun.

This is a project that I would consider "out of sight, out of mind"...
at least for Rick who never has to get into this cabinet.
So a couple of gentle reminders last week and he was all over it.

 Cutting the hole in the back side is NOT as easy as it looks, but this guy can do anything.

The opening is done....and I'm excited

Doors are up and staining in progress.


My husband is the best! I shouldn't be surprised at what this guy can do. 
It's perfect and looks like it's always been this way. I was like a giddy housewife putting thing back in the cupboards, rearranging the heavy and most awkward things in the front (or should I say back)  :)
P.S. My guy did our flooring too! 

 Love my new cupboard, but I love my sweet husband more. 
Another example of the love he has for me.
LOVE is a verb 

 The finished "Look" 

On a side note I might add.... My guy also cleaned up all the dust he created on the upper level of the house. He also knows that one of my worst torments in life is dust, so he took care of it.
