I'd like to turn it into a cottage looking kitchen and I think I'm going to paint the cabinets white. I'd like yellow around too and just a touch of blue.<br />I've been getting ideas from Houzz which I just started looking at after your post. Great place to get great ideas.

I decorate my baker's rack in the kitchen and my mantle gets a sprucing up season to season. Otherwise, everything remains the same. Thank you for the links to inspiration. I think you are pretty inspiring in my book!<br /><br />KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487481759201796912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-90338537158443391702013-06-14T21:47:03.133-04:002013-06-14T21:47:03.133-04:00Vee, I hope you don't go too 'simple' ...Vee, I hope you don't go too 'simple' in your decor as I love all your little things you have around, like the teacups hanging on the stick in the window. You always have cute ideas to display your things. I also get distracted easily. If I sit down to enjoy the view the next thing you know I'm out in it checking on plants growing or pulling weeds. Looking at blogs inspires me to do what they do so I up and do it! I'm so scatter brained. Let me know if staring at the thermometer makes the temperature go up will you? Enjoy the weekend. It looks promising. :DPamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-34399777429807619692013-06-14T21:37:14.882-04:002013-06-14T21:37:14.882-04:00Lovin' your flowers...

A delight to the eyes. And I love the window over your sink. I just learned that if you trim the end of hydrangeas when they are starting to look old, hold them upside down and run hot water into the stems it will revive them again and again, I am trying it out and so far so good!podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-84076856427603474982013-06-14T17:20:26.835-04:002013-06-14T17:20:26.835-04:00This doesn't necessarily have to do with this ...This doesn't necessarily have to do with this post but with the past three.

I was in love with every photo that you showed in the previous posts, and I kept nodding my head about the things that I would like in a kitchen. <br /><br />After seeing that wonderful picture with the gingham, I want to make some gingham curtains for my kitchen just for the summer and take my toile down for a while. <br /><br />I want to, I said...<br />Not I'm GOING to. <br /><br />Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-8089076268749309962013-06-14T15:38:36.566-04:002013-06-14T15:38:36.566-04:00It has been a busy week here--for many reasons--an...It has been a busy week here--for many reasons--and I see you have also been busy, Vee!
