What's Cookin' in my Kitchen
I'm linking up with Kelly's blog today. It's all about kitchens!
I love this room! It's probably almost as big as the living room, which is one of the main reasons we loved the plans for this house. In a big party, most of the ladies end up in the kitchen anyway, so there is a lot of space for that to happen. I had the builder put in all cabinet level counter-tops rather than a higher bar top because I'm a shorty, plus it makes for more serving space in here.
The arched doorway leads to a hallway back to the entry hall, the garage, and the laundry room.
A closer look at that side. I made the chalkboard. Here's the makeover.
I think I've probably failed Martha's Cooking school a dozen times or so. You can't tell here, but most of my
cooking implements are pink. If there is a pink option, I usually choose it.
What's a kitchen without a dance party?
That little bowl is where I deposit my jewelry while I'm cooking.
I got tired of taking it off all over the place and forgetting where I put it.
My counters are of black granite. They show dust like nothing else, so this is the place
that I most consistently wipe down. Pretty much everyday.
The view back into the living room.
A view from the hallway to the garage. That is our dining space over there, which is
washing out pretty spectacularly due to the morning sun.
I have some decorating work to do in here (which I'll get to eventually), but it works for us for now! Today I'm cooking a pot roast and making a casserole with squash and onions straight out of my dad's garden.
Your kitchen looks huge! I could easily see a group of girls gathering in her talking and cooking all together. I would definitely love to have a kitchen this size someday.
ReplyDeleteAnd just letting you know I'm stopping by from Kelly's Korner!
Thanks for stopping by and saying hi. I'm about to click over and start touring some kitchens!
DeleteDoing this one today as well (if I can find time to post)! Love your island and the chalkboard!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see yours. I am imagining you have a good cookbook collection since you are a librarian!
DeleteI love all the little pops of color in your kitchen! Red is my favorite color, and I try to do the same in mine!
ReplyDeleteLove your chalkboard... I may try to incorporate one in my kitchen!
Stopping by from Kelly's Korner!
For a while, everything in my kitchen was red. I'm trying to branch out a little, although it's pretty slow going. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteLove your kitchen!! We will be moving to Burleson in a few weeks and start building our new house in Sept! I am so excited to decorate my new house~
ReplyDeleteFun! Burleson is a great area to live in. There are new places going in everywhere!
DeleteLove it, Emily!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lauren!
DeleteLove this kitchen!! I am such a fan of the dark kitchen features!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Miranda! Sometimes I think about painting the cabinets white, but I worry I'd regret it. (And plus, it sounds like a pain!)
DeleteLove love your kitchen! I love how it opens to the living room and has windows to the back! So nice! And why in the world have I not thought of putting a cute little bowl on the counter for my jewelry?!? Genius! :}
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really love that I am part of everything going on in the living room, even if I'm busy in the kitchen.
DeleteVintage-style cotton and rag rugs are easily obtained, or you may be lucky enough to find originals in a junk store or sale room.best water filtration system
ReplyDeleteMp3 juice is very demanded, and everybody would like to get such platform. Here you can indeed found better-chosen files.
ReplyDeleteThe majority of us are presumably acquainted with the work-triangle. This alludes to the ideal connection between the sink, stove, and fridge, being dispersed close to 6 feet separated. A legitimate "work-triangle" is intended to diminish unnecessary advances while cooking in the kitchen.
