Kitchen Corner

Since we have been snowed in yet again I have been rearranging things in our home. Currently I am loving this corner in the kitchen. When I arranged our bedroom there was an extra side table that I couldn't figure out where to put so it went into the save for later pile. Then as I was clearing off our kitchen table I thought it would be nice to have a place to put stuff that collects on the table. Here it is the extra side table in the kitchen and I have to tell you I am loving this little corner! You really never know where something will work unless you just give it a try!

Confession and Randomness

The confession is this:

The painting isn't finished and  I really HATE dislike that florescent light a lot!!!

Now for the randomness of this post. Today was day #2 of being snowed in and school is also canceled for tomorrow! This is one of my lovelies sitting on the kitchen floor watching me make a craft for one of his friends who turned 18 today. What in the world do you get an 18 year old from a 5 year old. Well the perfect solution was candy!!!

                 And here is the candy gift we made for a friend...

 

                  Hope you have enjoyed the crazy randomness of this post!

The Kitchen

First, before you judge me the walls need a second coat, I am not a very good photographer, and yes dishes are in the sink! So far I like the change but can't wait to sew some burlap curtains and eventually one day get a rug that really ties it all together. Until then I am happy with the color, it is definitely a big step for me to go with a lighter color pallet for paint choices.

Change in the kitchen

Here are some past pictures of how our kitchen looks currently. The problem is I am ready to add some change to the kitchen with paint. The project this weekend is to paint the kitchen. It may be a little tricky but hopefully by Monday I will be able to show you the transformation that I can see in my head!

 So the current color options are a light blue with a grey tone in it...

 This color is called Maine Harbor and I love it! And this the rug I am currently drooling over for the kitchen transformation is this beauty from Target, which is currently on clearance.

  Hopefully I will have a lot to blog about next week after the transformation. I guess I better get to work.

Dilemma

I love greenery color in a room!  It can be ferns, flowers, anything greenish, but lately fake greens have been driving my crazy!!!  The only dilemma is...what would go in all the spots in my house that have fake stuff?!?  Certainly not real arrangements b/c  I have a tendency to neglect real greenery.  So the problem has been in mind for a long time and I just haven't figured out what to do just yet...until this weekend.  Seems a little silly to be so excited over a $3.95 purchase that will solve this decorating dilemma.  Well at least for now I think I may be onto a solution, and it is called a "house plant".  And it doesn't require that much attention!

What do you think?  It is REAL!!!  That is not how I intend to leave it sitting on the coffee table.  Last week at Salvation Army I spotted an awesome hurricane glass that would be perfect for it.  So hopefully when I go back they will not have sold it, but if so I am sure there will be another treasure that will work wonders too.  Here is hoping that this plant is the answer to my dilemma and little by little I can replace the old fake stuff with actual real charming "house plants" that require little attention.  Oh and lets hope this plant is still alive in a few days too!
