House Tour...Kitchen/Dining Room...

This is the area we just had painted. You will have to imagine that all around the cabinets was black and the rest of the color on the cabinets was a dingy white...the walls on the other hand were an extremely light lavender. We made some changes...the colors - an off white on the walls and a basil green for trim. We also changed the hardware on the cabinets and drawers...wanted something to match the matte silver switch plates we put in when we first moved.


Our kitchen / dining room is a room that is 16 feet x 23 feet...and we have a lot of stuff...The brown cabinet is my pantry...while the open shelved thing has all of our appliances with small gadgets collected by the Queen of Gadgets (Scarlett) are in the roll around next to that. The island was an addition that we bought in Tennessee before we even bought this house and the granite top matches the granite on our cabinets almost perfectly.

Looking toward the front of the room to the dining area. The freeze sits in our dining area as there were no plugs other than that one on that wall...Our good china is stored in the bookcase looking thing that sits next to the freezer. We only use it for Thanksgiving, Christmas and if we have a lot of company. We are lucky to have four windows in the dining area.


There is a built in cabinet under the stairs that we use as our everyday china cabinet. The white cabinet holds Scarlett's herbs - mostly medicinal as she is also an herbologist.

I really enjoy the window over the sink as I can watch my babies out in the back yard. And, am truly loving the way the new colors on the cabinets brighten up the room.

Another view of the dining area...


And, another...

There it is our kitchen / dining room all set up the way we want it and ready for company!

Ok, first off, I can understand why you were so out-of-sorts from having the kitchen painted. But, you know, it looks fantastic! I think our entire apartment can fit into your kitchen with room to spare.
And I LOVE Scarlett's herb area. And I think M will want to ransack it, too. (I sent him the link.)
It's a very warm-feeling! Thanks for sharing.

I like the green with the white. It was so much fun to click on those images and open them up for a close up peek at your little corner of the world.

The granite is wonderful. Your house looks very cozy and inviting. Should I make reservations for a visit?

:o)

What a lovely home you have! The colors and choices you've made really make a very inviting place to gather. I love the island and the granite countertops. Beautiful!
