More Views Of The Kitchen

Two days ago I posted a little glimpse of my kitchen. I have had requests for more views.


This corner is in the family room, which spills out into the kitchen.

The chippy bench above, I bought last summer on Ebay.
The white rooster was a clearance sale item from Target. A couple people asked to see a closer look, of the mercury glass bird. (From B on Main in Ventura)



When I got my new stove, I didn't know what to do for a back splash. I bought this painting from my friend Karen, and voila, back splash. I put a few coats of poly over it, in case I am being a messy cook. (But that never happens) Every French kitchen should have the cookbook that you see above. It not only has recipes, it has tips, and a french way of life.
If you notice the corbels above the stove, they match the ones from the window valance, in the previous post. ( They are the perfect match, yet they were found at 2 different flea markets, at different times)





This corner has recently become, wedding invitation central. I am doing the calligraphy on the envelopes, for my daughter's October wedding.
We had the glass, put into our cupboard doors. It is called bubble or rain glass. It looks antique. We had the 4 doors next to the sink done like that. It gives a very open light look.
I hope you enjoyed the tour.

I was tagged again yesterday.

Here are a couple more random things about myself:
I can't stand any little weeds in the cracks of the sidewalk, or driveway. I have to constantly pick them out.

I am the one in in charge of audio visual. My husband is too busy, so I learn how to operate the TV and Tivo etc. I am the one in control of that.

I have been with my husband since I was 16. I got married at 20, and we have been married for 30 years. 31 this October. If you do the math, I guess you know that I just turned 51. (I can't believe it either) People always tell me I don't look that old. Not a good way to put it.

I only had one child, a daughter who is 26.

I like creepy stuff, like scary books and movies. Halloween is my favorite holiday.

There you go, a few more weird/random facts.

Have a great day!!!
