YIPEE...MY KITCHEN IS DONE!

This was going to be a before and after post until I realized that all of my before photos are stored in my other computer. So, I'm going to do this backwards. I'll start with all the after photos and tomorrow I'll post the ghastly before photo!! I feel like I finally have a kitchen that I love!! Yes, it's small, but it's very functional and works well for our family. I tend to like cozy better than gargantuan anyhow!! I moved the window treatment way up!! In fact, it's only covering about an inch of the window. I love it that way because it gives the illusion that my window is much larger than the dinky size it really is and I'm not blocking any of the natural light that brightens up the room!!

I had to put the rooster in this post just for Tracey!! Oh, and my gorgeous Johnson Brothers platter...my most recent junk store find!! MMMMM...and that candle you see is from TJ Max. It's a Yankee Candle normally around $15 for a jar that size. I paid $7.99. I burn candles every day...hence the title of my blog!!!

There's those tablecloths turned curtains again!! I love the way they look against my new picture frame moulding/paneling.

Plates, plates and more plates!! If you haven't noticed by now I love plates!! Hubby still thinks it's goofy that I hang them on the wall.

I found this rug at TJ too. I love the brown and blue combination. It also has a wee bit of red/burgundy in there which ties into the colors of the family room.
I love my three storage jars!! I keep flour, sugar and cereal in them. With such limited cabinet space it works out great and I love how they look!!
I still haven't decided if I'm going to leave the doors off or on this cabinet.

Well, that's it!! My kitchen is finally done!! MMMM...besides the window trim that is. I'm thinkin I'm gonna tackle that later this summer. I'm planning on doing a nice wide sill for my plants to sit and look pretty!!

Stay tuned for those before pics of my kitchen.

Goodnight!!
