Heart of the Home

It's finally here!!

I am so excited to see all those wonderful

"Heart of the Home"

spaces. But first, a huge "Thank You" to

Shelia at "Note Songs".

Be sure to make a stop and see all the wonderful

spaces and ideals waiting for you there!

Now over the last year, I'm  sure you have saw my

kitchen far toooo many times, but here we go again!

The kitchen had been remodeled when we bought the

house, so most of what you are seeing was already here!

I did add the pot rack over the island and stained it

black. I added the black refrigerator last year and have

added a few other little changes along the way and I

will tell you as we see them.

I am very fortunate to have LOTS of cabinets and

counter space!

This is our gathering space, the first place we go

everyday, and anyone who visits ends up here as

well.

The eating area of the kitchen.

This is a great space, I can get six people around

this old table!

My faux fireplace that you saw a couple of weeks

ago!

This a little corner that was already here and needed

a little face lift. The shelf was open, Hubby made the

door and we added the screen, knob is from Hobby Lobby.

These were solid doors, I had the glass put in a

couple of years ago.

The other side of the kitchen. More great counter

space!

This was pretty much a useless shelf, so Hubby put the

spindle up there, left over from another project, a little

black paint and it became a handy little plate rack.

We added the cup hooks, and......

We can easily grab one for tea or coffee!

This is a view coming in my back door!

If you turn completely around and look in the other

direction, you will see what I guess is suppose to be

a mud room. But as you know, I can never leave

anything alone, so now it serves as a mudroom/pantry.

Extra storage for dishes and large pots!

There was also a coat closet in this little room, which

I turned into a food pantry, for those heavy canned

items, I don't want to put in the kitchen cabinet pantry.

Hubby put in a few shelves and we worked the space

 from there.

I also added a smaller microwave, this is great

even though I have a large one over my oven, helps with

the overflow, when we have lots of people over.

These are recycled baskets and great for keeping

vegetables.

We also added a small refrigerator, once again great for

extra drinks.

Well I hope I didn't bore you to much.

Thanks for visiting,

Bye For Now,
