Kitchen Inspiration....

I'm in the middle of a mini kitchen update...

1. Paint the walls...
2. Beadboard backsplash
3. New light fixtures
4. New dishwasher and cooktop and hood
5. New sink skirt and curtains


This is the color I choose for the bottom cabintes....The Nester http://www.thenester.com/ painted her tv armoire and other pieces in her house this color and inspired me to paint my kitchen cabinets!




I've made a burlap sink skirt and plan on making a curtain for the backdoor with a ruffle...similar to this fabulous table runner



I plan on making a large chalkboard....




When everything is done (hopefully before the in-laws come in 3 weeks) I will post pics!

New Design and New name??

So I've decided that I want to rename my blog and find a new header...unfortunately my computer skills are seriously lacking and my attention span is short. However, I plan to try. And even though noone reads my blog, it can be a place for me to post my "to-do" lists and accomplishments.

Now I am off to try and learn how to change my header to something fun...and think of a new blog name. Any suggestions?

What is this mark on my photo and who put it there??

Here's what I've been up to.......
