Kitchen Furniture

I bet you already knew that my kitchen wouldn't stay all-white for long, Right? Ha! My kitchen has gone through quite a few makeovers over the years. Just see for yourself: The last time I shared my kitchen, which is the top picture on the left, is when I had just painted the walls white. I painted the walls white because after looking at my Pinterest Kitchen Board one day, I noticed that almost all of my pins were of  all-white kitchens, and so I figured if I was so inspired by white kitchens then I needed an all white kitchen too. I liked my kitchen all white, at least for a while, but then I was starting to crave color again :)  So I decided to paint just the lower cabinets, and actually, I had a few different reasons for wanting to paint my cabinets;  1. white cabinets get super dirty, at least at my house, and I was getting tired of constantly wiping  them down. I knew that painting them a darker color would camouflage the dirt better.  2. My decorating s...

I recently gave our kitchen a new look by painting the walls white. As you probably know, the walls were a teal color before.  I'll be back soon to share more of the room with you. Today, I wanted to talk about kitchen light fixtures.   You're probably familiar with the light fixture I have hanging in our kitchen currently.  I created these light shades using a pair of wicker food covers. And as you can see, they too recently got painted white. I came up with the idea of  using wicker food covers for light shades years ago as a quick fix. Before, the lights had a tan frosted glass shade on them that was not at all my style. The wicker shades gave the room a casual, beach house, look which fits my style and the rest of our home's decor perfectly. Even though I think the wicker light shades are fun,  I believe that it is probably time to switch them out with something modern and new.  I recently found out about a website called, Lightinhome   that carrie...

Only five more weeks until our Beach Vacation!!!  Can you tell I'm excited?  Our family has rented a little beach house in northern California for Spring break.  We will be exploring the beaches of  northern California and southern Oregon Coast and we will also be checking out the beautiful Redwood forest.  I Cannot wait! I am a beach girl and there is no where else I'd rather be than the beach, Because Life is just better at the Beach! Do you agree? So I know you have heard me talk about Pavilion Gift before.  They are a really neat company that specializes in personalized gifts. They have something unique for everyone and for every occasion.  Pavilion Gift carries a line called, We People , that I just can't get enough of. I'm sure you've seen some of the other Beach People  and Camp People  items that I've shared from them before.  This line comes in football, lake, mountain, farm, wine, river, hunting, beer, along with so many ot...
