TaDa!

100_3805

YEA and a YIPPEE!

I have a kitchen again.  Quite a shiny, sparkly kitchen.

Coming up on the list of To Do’s is sprucing up the cabinets.

After putting in the winter lawn.

And the petunias.

100_3807 The kids are making fun of my retro stove and my 22-year-old microwave, which when purchasing I almost lost my firstborn, who was blown across the parking lot in a stroller during a downpour of a storm.  You can read about his near death experience here.  See that adorable little red toaster?

100_3808 It’s one of my favorite new things.  Brawny Man was at Home Depot picking up more construction supplies when he picked out this little gem for my new countertop, all on his own.  Can I get a collective

AWE!!!

Very pretty. I like the red, especially that special gift toaster! :) My kitchen has the combo of beige and black appliances. But they all function so they all stay until upgrades are necessary.

I am cracking up at Anne's comment. You know what could be worse? Me AND Anne moving in to enjoy your sparkly new (and fabulous) kitchen. At this point, in my house, I will settle for clean. ;) Xox!!

AWWWWW. Nothing like a sparkly new kitchen and a toaster that matches the chile peppers to make a girl happy!

Love it!

Very cooool. And matched in fire engine sexy red. That's hot!

That just gives me a good idea for my next post. My kitchen! That's where everyone seem to end up ..makes sense to give it some highlight once a while! Thanks Deb!

YAYYYY! Finished! And it looks so FABULOUS! I love your red accents with the dark countertop. I love your potrack. And retro appliances are in style, aren't they? You have such excellent taste!

And ooooh! I think I see your beautiful reflection in the microwave!

Unknown said...

oh, yes big awe from me. I have someone coming tomorrow to measure for granite. It's so exciting, but I completely agree. My kids are already saying that other things don't match or need changing. One thing at a time. geez.
It looks fabulous , Deb. and I too love the red . You have a good eye.
