A Rainy Summer Evening In The Kitchen

Well it's raining and very chilly here again this evening.

Everyone is doing their own thing, even the dogs are napping.

The kitchen is clean and I am just snapping pictures.

This is the view as you walk in my back door, or if you

look to your right you see a mud room and powder room.

I have a center island that we use more than anything

with a lighted pot rack above overloaded with copper.

My breakfast area is at the far end. When the previous

owners renovated they took the old kitchen and dining

room and made this large kitchen. A new dining room

was then added as well as another master suite, bathroom,

dressing room and walk in closet. I have done very little

to the kitchen since moving in other than adding the

pot rack and new lighting

The home office. You can see part of the mud room in this picture.

Mr. Rooster always on guard.

The mirror is another Charleston find, the same estate

sale that the desert cups in my All Grown Up Christmas

came from. And yes you are correct the little table holding

the lamps is an antique wooden ironing board.

I use two chairs at this table and a bench. The top of this

table is made from old barn boards. I used this table at our

old house, we actually made counter tops for the kitchen of

the barn boards, then used a waterproof coating to seal them,

the same stuff they use on wooden boats.

I did have glass put in this cabinet, its sits in the corner

before you go into my foyer. Then I added the little

grape knobs and light. A great place to keep allot of my

blue dishes. Well thanks for visiting and feel free to leave

comment, suggestion or ask a question. See everyone at

Susan's Thursday.
