Show Us Your Life Home Tours...Kitchen

Here's my kitchen. I redid it this fall. It was a 80's kitchen with oak cabinets, burgundy wallpaper, flourescent lights, etc. It was kind of dark and I wanted a white cheery kitchen. The kitchen was fine before but it was dated and not me at all. Now I feel like the kitchen is totally fits my personality. If you want to see what the kitchen looked like before, click here. I know there's a lot of pictures on here but I didn't know which ones to put on so I just put a lot of them on.
I got the little chandeliers above the island at a flea market.   
I couldn't decide if I should paint and distress the wood dome so I put a picture on Facebook and asked everyone. Everybody told me to leave it so I did and I'm glad I did. It's kind of a fun wood dome. I know I have a lot of chandeliers in my kitchen but I love them. They make me feel good when I walk in the kitchen.  
Here's our breakfast nook. I have a lot of fun decorating my table for different events. This picture had Christmas balls in the lanterns (which I got at a flea market). I got the placemats from Etsy. I saw them on Pinterest and had to have them! They weren't expensive so that was a plus, too!
And this is decorated for a friend's birthday and Valentine's Day. 
This desk used to be burgundy and oak. I love it all white now. Got the little chair at Saver's ($7) and the cushion at Pier 1.
The chairs by the island have been replaced now with little stools. You can see them in the first picture.
My sister-in-law made the Faith, Truth, Love window frame. I LOVE it so much! If you look closely, you can see the polka dots and stripes etched on the glass behind the words.  

I put this chalk board up and love to write different things on there for different events.  
This are the LOVE verses for Valentine's Day. 

This is a messy picture of my kitchen, but I wanted to put my magnet board on here that I got a couple of months ago at a flea market. I love it because it's so unique. I love putting Rosy's artwork on there and special cards from people. I also throw invitations on there, etc. I think it's fun!  You can see my sweet Reg under the table. He makes me laugh every single day!!
So, there's my kitchen!!! I can't wait to look at all of yours! Happy Saturday everybody! ;)

I'd love to know if you sanded, used a primer (which brand?), which roller did you use? I'm about to tackle this DIY project myself and I LOVE the way yours turned out. BTW, I'm a total copy cat...using the same colors and everything. LOL

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

My girl is MARRIED!!!

Oh, it's been so long since I've posted! I always say I'm going to start blogging again so I can remember things and then I never do. I get overwhelmed because I get so behind. It's like when I used to scrapbook, I would get behind and then just not do it. That's how I am about blogging but I just don't seem to remember things as well if I don't write them down and I love to have a record of life with pictures. But, I just HAD to write about Macy's wedding! I am just so happy about it!! I feel so overwhelmed with God's love for me and His goodness!!! Macy has always been such an example to me of God's grace and this is no exception. I always say, "How can Macy be MY child?" because she's just so NOT me. She is so much better! She loves mission trips, she is so laid back, and she has definitely not struggled in the same areas that I have struggled with. I've prayed for so long for specifics for Macy's future husband. The mai...
