la cocina

We had dinner guests last Thursday so I had some extra incentive to set up my decorations in the kitchen...and clean it! Here's the view from the door coming in from the garage. Painting (if it happens) will be sometime this fall/winter. Suggestions welcome. :)
The brand new fridge is off to the right of this picture. The old one broke just before we got here. Sweet timing, eh?? The kids couldn't even be blamed for it!!

This area is just to the left of the door to the garage. We tucked a computer desk back there and added this round table on casters. It is PERFECT for quick meals, crafts and food prep. The sides all flip up to go from a 3 ft square surface to a 4 ft surface. The door you see is a 1/2 bath that was added when the kitchen was redone. Very handy. Wallpaper removal in that room is also on the to-do list for fall/winter.


The kitchen opens into the dining room. The other door is a pantry. There's lots of good storage in this kitchen which helps a ton!


I found these great letters above the stove at Hobby Lobby. I attached them to the wall with that gummy stuff used to hang pictures. Works like a dream.
There you have it. Hope you liked your little tour. Did it make sense to you?? Seriously, if you have paint color suggestions, I'm all ears...er, um eyes since I'll be you know, reading them. :)

I would go with a golden yellow sort of color, to pick up the warm tones in wood cabinets. :) That's my two cents :)

The kitchen looks great with your touches. It's really nice. Can't wait to see it in person.

That house really is neat! I like how you have set everything up!

I say use the same colour paint as the Eau Claire house. LOVED that greenish-blue!

It looks great! And I love your paintings! I agree with the yellow idea. But then I am partial to yellow...

I would consider a green in the same tone as the stems of the flowers in the paintings.

Then "I" am partial to GREEN! I love green!!!
