Welcome to my Kitchen

From time to time I've shared

my recipes with you.......

So today I thought I would

show you around my kitchen
where we cook all those
yummy meals

I had so much fun designing this kitchen

 I was full of ideas on how to make this

 my dream kitchen-

This was my wish list--

• small desk for phone, recipes, & notes to self!!

• a shelf over the desk for cookbooks and decor

• I wanted at least one glass front cabinet for my crystal

• a butcher block island for chopping and working dough

• a shelf to display my collection of blue dishes

• hubby wanted a Viking cooktop

• and what about a big bar top to eat at or for our guest to watch us cook!

• I also wanted to mix things up a bit by using some stained cabinets and some white for accent.

From dream to reality....................

First, here is my little kitchen desk-

I love this for keeping clutter off my counter tops

and my shelf above the desk

Perfect for my cookbooks and kitchen decor

I found these two cute metal magnetic boards

to hang coupons, recipes,  & notes to self!!

Every Little Birdie loves her cook book titled "How to Cook Everything"!!

My glass cabinet for pretty glassware -

I had lots of fun designing this

butcher block island!

Love the way it turned out!!

Then I found this wire

basket -

It's perfect for my wine cork collection

& my Bon Appetit magazines!!

Yes, I drank all those bottles of wine, but not at the same time!

My scott towel holder has a birdie on a perch

My blue dish collection looks so pretty on this shelf above my kitchen sink

My daughter gave me this wonderful 3-tiered basket
to store my fruits and veggies

My sister gave me this print which I cherish
Can you guess what my favorite hymn is??????

a little farm house charm



Every French country kitchen needs a Rooster!!



Last but not least....

Our cooking station

Yes, hubby got his Viking Stove!!



I love my mantle above the stove
turned out just as I had envisioned

I choose this for the focal point over the stove

My friend, Janie, at Villa Sartain gave me this beautiful container
 to hold my cooking utensils



Two more house warming gifts that I adore
The blue is so pretty



Every Little Birdie says-

post our most delicous meals
