Kelly started a "tour of homes." Up first: Kitchens.
Some of my favorite things- Grandma's butter churn:
Most of my recipes are printed off the computer from emails or jotted down on sticky notes. I hide them in the box on the bottom shelf until I have time to transfer them to the recipe cards. I only use one cook book and it's one our family made. That's why I'm putting together another family/friends cookbook because those are the only other recipes I use!
Another favorite- sink that hides a ton of dishes:
Everyone asks us if we use our breakfast room much. YES.This is where we always eat unless we have people over then we eat in our actual dining room.
And of course I had to add my pantry. It is the hub of our house. And thanks to the chalk board paint on the back of the door, it's also a popular spot for the kidlins when they come over.I love it so much I'm writing a book about it.... stay tuned.
And Kelly is right. We all have so much to be thankful for. I'll post more on Compassion later. But until then, check it out.
I love your cabinets! I have been wanting to do the chalk board on my pantry door! I think I might do that this week! My kids will love it more than me I think!

GORGEOUS kitchen! Love it! Love your sink! Yes, Jeff is doing our cabinets!
ReplyDeleteI have looked through hundreds of kitchens tonight and yours is by far my favorite!! I didn't have to nerve to do all my cabinets black, so I settled for the island. LOVE your kitchen!! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteBlack is my favorite color! LOVE your cabinets!
ReplyDeleteDid you paint the cabinets yourselves? If so, would you recommend doing it? I didn't think I liked black cabinets, but yours are gorgeous! Also, I have almost the exact same picture board in my kitchen - people gravitate to it - there's something about pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing - I'll be back...=]

ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comments!
ReplyDeleteI didn't paint them myself but I'm going to tackle a set of cabinets early summer and I'll report on how well that goes....
We just built our house last fall and my cousin did the cabinets. This is their website: http://www.ultimatecabinetsok.com/_/Home.html
Good luck if you decide to paint yours!
Love your dinner bell! So cute! And your pantry is super nice...love the sliding door.
ReplyDeleteLove your black cabinets! Very classy. Where did you find your "pantry" sign on the door? I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful kitchen! I could see this in a magazine or on TV. Just gorgeous. The black cabinets are so beautiful! I am in LOVE with your pantry. Oh I couldn't imagine having so much wonderful room! The door is great!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThe Pantry sign is from Uppercase Living!
i am loving the GREEN table! (and pretty much the rest of your kitchen!!) mind sharing where you got the table at?
ReplyDeleteCute! I'm in the process of getting new counters and back splash... and am suddenly in LOVE with my kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThe table is from a local furniture store (I think it's Ashley brand). It was blond and I primed/painted it. The green is from Sherwin Williams (tupelo green, maybe).
ReplyDeleteWow! You have quite the kitchen/pantry. I love it.
