Kitchen & Furniture

Over the weekend, I received requests for pictures of the kitchen and of my new furniture.
So............
White cabinets with cherry cabinets on the island and hutches in the breakfast area. Uba tuba granite countertops.Drawer microwave and mixer lift in center island.

This bar is perfect for laying out all meals in a buffet.
Glass front, glass shelves matching hutches. Great place for "pretties".

In January Judy took me to furniture market and helped me spend money. Everything has come in except the bedroom suite, nesting tables and sofa table.
I call this my mail table. We put the mail here so we always know where to find it. It's at a height that we can look through the mail easily and plenty of neat storage for stuff. Grandmother Hughes' mirror.
I got 8 dining chairs and 4 of the side arm chairs pictured here and in the next one
I hope to find a drop leaf table to go with these chairs in this spot
I love my pub/bistro dinette set. It can be a round table or a square table.Joe likes his new desk chair. It adjusts several ways as well as being attractive.A leather rocker recliner. Two sofas in a rich brown upholstery. And two taupe ottomans.

Lots of work to still be done and then the decorating.

I'm Back!

I'm sorry that I have been gone so long on my blog. It started with a computer in need of repair and ended with not knowing how to catch up on what I hadn't posted.


Thanks for interest in what's been going on.


As Jennifer posted on her blog, we all converged at Daniel's for Carter's second birthday. Isn't he so cute! Cornelia's family thinks he looks like Daniel.



Earlier in the day I had attended by brother's wedding. Allen and his wonderful bride, Linda.

And his super, special, successful children

Kyle and Jill, Chris, Kerri and Stephen, Bryan


A great weekend with lots of the family!

Love you all!
