In The Kitchen

Home Interior

A while back I talked about cooling my kitchen, you can see that here, but here’s where I am so far.  I never finish.

The oven really hasn’t been used much since February, when Mr. reFresh and I went on a diet.

The kitchen is where I do most of my projects, thank goodness for granite.

It has a large eat in area. Please ignore that other Federal convex mirror, it’s headed to the lake. I must say I got a little obsessed with them after I got the first one. I bought a total of three. I know I’m sick.

I never know what to put up there, so I’m sure these are short lived.

A view from the living room.

My view from the sink. The burlaps curtains here.

The painted island, it was red.

I love taking pictures…duh

My son always wants to know if it’s real, when he sees food on the counter. It’s not…

I love my kitchen and the changes that I’ve made. Some ideas were posted here.

I love it. It is very big and open. Those are some unique bar stools.

The bar stools always get rave reviews when people sit in them, they are very comfortable. Woven rattan from Pier 1. Thanks!

Your kitchen is just as gorgeous as the rest of your house Debbie! And I cracked up about the mirror sickness...do we need to stage a Federal Mirror Intervention? LOL! Your island transformation really was amazing and I love the open side with all of the goodies tucked in. Just beautiful! :-)

Good looking kitchen. I love your bar stools. This makes me wish I had a breakfast bar where I could get some stools like you have.

Kristine

I am just in love with the bench at your table...it is GORGEOUS!

Sue

I think that your kitchen is well on its way to becoming a comfortable and beautiful room. Love the color on the walls- I checked out the before and this color is so much more soothing! The look is fresh and clean, too. And I love the island color!!! Does the bench at the table match it? Am visiting from Kristin's party.

Thanks Sue, yes the bench and the island are both Annie Sloan Duck Egg Blue. I am working on finishing everything, I am a DIY so it takes me longer than it should!

Rene

I really wish we had room for an island in our kitchen. Yours is so nice with its cubbies.

Thanks for sharing it with us Debbie!

Your kitchen is georgous! Love so many things about it. No wonder you love it. The granite counter tops are to die for, I love the bench at your table, so unique. The white table on the side wall, I want it! The island, beautiful, love the green, cannot imagine red, I'll stop now or you might get a big head! LoL. Love it all. You did good.

I am a big fan of how "green" your kitchen is. I have never experimented with this color I wish i was brave enough you really made it your own.
