Heart of the Home

Welcome to my kitchen!  Shelia at Note Song is having a Heart of the Home party so I’m joining in and sharing a few photos of my kitchen. 

It’s hard to believe that a year ago our kitchen looked like this.

003

With a lot of hard work, our kitchen looks like this now.   We added crown molding at the top of the cabinets;  painted the cabinets white;  added hardware to the cabinets; installed new counter tops; installed a new sink and faucet;  added new appliances and tiled the  floor.

I even painted the table and chairs.

A vignette on the counter.  I love this picture!

Another vignette.

The table and shelves are the most recent addition to our kitchen.

As you enter through the kitchen door, this is the entry wall you see.

I have to show you this because I’m so proud of  my coffee filter wreath that hangs on the kitchen door.  001

Well there you have seen the heart of my home.  It’s still a work in progress.  I was hoping that we would have installed the backsplash but unfortunately it’s not done yet…..I have my fingers crossed that may be within a week.

  15. Gail, your kitchen is gorgeous! I love a white crisp kitchen. Our cabinets are a lovely maple but they are so dark in my northern facing home. I want to paint them white but (unsuprisingly) my husband wants them to stay as is. Your vignettes are perfect! Thanks for sharing your home with us.
