I’ve had several requests to see pictures of “my lime green kitchen”.  I pretend this isn’t true but my kitchen isn’t really lime green.  There’s creamy colored tile on the back splash, the countertops are neutral.  Above the top cabinets, it is painted lime green, but just a little because there’s a wall paper border.

I’ve been wanting to grind my own flour for a very long time. I know . . some of you are rolling your eyes. It is funny though when you make homemade stuff. Once when Chad was younger, he was visiting his dad for a couple of weeks in the summer. [...]

I truly love this kitchen. There’s so much counter space, cabinets and the two ovens but there was NO place to put a trash can. Having the starving dachshund who loves to dig in the trash doesn’t help matters.
Even with lots of cabinets, almost all the lower cabinets have the pullout drawers so [...]

I have had the hardest time keeping this quiet til it was ok to post it here. I’ll bet you all wondered why I haven’t been blogging much! Well, it’s because my days and nights are pretty much consumed with this upcoming move and I couldn’t say anything so I figured I’d just [...]

This is what I see looking out my back door. It’s just a rain cloud and no serious storms are predicted but . . look what I see when I look at my kitchen ceiling! I looked up at the ceiling and hoped it was a shadow from a lamp in the [...]
