The Great White Kitchen

It's official, the house projects are just about to be in full swing. These things take time and prep! I've been running around like a crazy person comparing subway tile, pieces of marble and choosing bevel details on cabinetry. If you don't want to hear about house projects and decor, I suggest you stop reading this blog. 

We're starting at the heart of the home. The kitchen: 

Yes, it is a perfectly good kitchen, but there is a lot of brown and I hope to lighten it up a bit. 

Well, a lot actually.

Here is a snippet of what it will look like in about a month:

Did I tell you about the time?

We moved into our house a week before Christmas and our cute little tree was a casualty in the process. On December 23, at 8 p.m. Syd set out to find a replacement. After all, what's Christmas morning without a tree? 3 lots later, with a little bit of begging at the Home Depot, and we had ourselves a tree. We set it up and began trimming. Meanwhile, Syd took a few shots of NyQuil and I found him fully clothed and immovable. And then our tree fell over. Dirt clumps and needles were everywhere. It took all three of us (mom, dad, me) to get it upright again. In the end, all the ornaments were removed and the only things keeping it partially upright were the wall and a piece of plywood. Merry Christmas!
