Monday and THREE MORE DAYS!!!

So apparently chasing after two kids (love em!), having an interior decorating business (so fun!!), and planning a trip to Italy (three more days!!) has left me with very little time to blog over the past few days.  I hope you'll forgive me.

Anyhow-- how about another pretty kitchen?  This one may be small-- but it's still big on style :)

Love the wallpaper.  Love those chalkboards.  AND I've gotta have one of those vintage/industrial scales for my new kitchen-- a cool looking scale + lots of pretty cookbooks = a kitchen that looks like I'm actually a skilled cook :)

Well-- it's going to be a busy few days-- getting my hair done, gotta do a whole lot of grocery shopping to stock the house for the kiddos and their babysitters, have to finish organizing a few last minute trip details, laundry laundry laundry, and make sure all the items I'm going to need in Italy will fit into a 

18" x 22" x 10" bag-- yikes.

AND... Doug has an entire kitchen to install before we leave.  I have a feeling I may not actually see him this week until we're sitting on that airplane...

Happy Monday everyone!!

Kitchen Countdown-- it continues

Love this kitchen.  Instead of a subway tile backsplash like the last one, we've got a marble.  And it look like quartz countertops-- very similar combo to the kitchen my husband and I worked on a few months ago.

I'm loving that light above the window-- we're planning to rip out the bulkhead above the upper cabinets and window in our kitchen-- so I'd have room for a fantastic light above my kitchen sink.

Oh, and someone asked about paint colors in my house!  I did a post on that a long time ago-- you can read all about it HERE.

Kitchen Countdown

Like I've mentioned a few times over the past few months... our kitchen renovation is just around the corner.  The great thing about having a husband who builds kitchens is that we can do it for a fantastic price.  The downside is that we can never find the time to get started!  Everyone else's kitchens always take priority.  Hopefully we can get started in the spring... so I'm trying to decide on exactly what I want.  I saw this picture a few days ago and said-- YES!! (maybe out loud :)  that's it!  Gorgeous hey?  Simple, clean, classic, timeless... I could see it in my home.

Only problem is-- I fall in love with a new kitchen every couple of days.  So just to get it out of my system-- and to get me psyched up for our kitchen reno-- I'm going to start posting the kitchens I love...

It's gonna be my kitchen reno countdown....
