falling back in love with our...kitchen.

you may remember back in August

when i posted a little story about white 

kitchens...here.

this is a photo of  my kitchen window on the day of that post!

since the post, the walls have been painted a semi gloss white!

last weekend, we tackled the old kitchen floor.

it was 31 years old and very worn. (i know, it's
not pretty...as i write this i am reminded of my blog friend, Jane's
post yesterday comparing our homes with reality TV!)
love ya, Jane!

so long 1979!

one last peek...

here is my kitchen window this morning at about 5:45 am!

now remember, we are still in transition...i'm "being REAL!"

this is the photo that inspired the floors...

...and this image inspired the LOOK!

i found this very cool striped rug at Crate & Barrel.

for our Lab,  Chocolate Gousse, who's place setting is on the 

kitchen floor, i am going to order...

one of these fabulous mats from Ballard Designs.

she eats out of white souffle dishes, so she will be

feeling very French at mealtime!

it's going to be awhile before we change the cupboards and the 

counters, but i do think that the recent love bestowed upon our old kitchen

 qualifies me to join Laura's "Fall In Love With Your Home"

link party today  ~here~

LAST DAY FOR THE GIVE A WAY!
