My Kitchen Tour & Giveaway
I am so excited, today. Kim from Savvy Southern Style has invited me to participate in her 'My Favorite Room" feature. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to show you my kitchen. I have never shown that room, and it is the one I will miss the most when we move.
If you are not familiar with our home story, you can read about it here. I had seven years of planning and dreaming before we actually did our kitchen addition.
I had time to endlessly obsess over every detail. Like this hammered stainless steel sink.
You can see the full tour on Kim's blog.
Before I tell you my giveaway, I won Kim's giveaway.....I know that's funny! I wanted it for my teen. She picked these adorable bracelets.
Obviously matching her iPhone case was a high priority. Thankfully, MsMoozy's Open House has a lot to pick from. She got another bracelet, and a necklace. All of the jewelry is made really well, and 'teen approved'.
And now for my giveaway. You know how much I love a giveaway!!
When we lived in California, I had a hanging pot rack.
I loved it and I loved to decorate it.
I have had this (now vintage) Crate and Barrel copper pot for over 20 years....that makes it vintage, right?
The truth is, I think I may have used it once....more than a decade ago...who can remember?
I think it's really beautiful and it needs a new home. One that will love it and show it off.
You can see it was Made In France. I would love to send it to one of you.

Kitchens - Definitely the Heart of My Home
| I have been working on some finishing touches to my kitchen. I realize I have never given you the full tour and I have one coming soon. I love my kitchen and spend most of my time in it. The number one thing about my home that I will miss the most when we move, is definitely my kitchen. Since it is probably doubtful that I will find a home with my idea of the perfect kitchen, it looks like I will probably have one more kitchen remodel in my future. The thought of a kitchen remodel makes me really happy. No sarcasm, I love looking at kitchens. I have a few features I am in love with, and made a few mistakes I could live without. I have an island and definitely love it.  |

| Brownhouse Design I'm looking forward to showing you my kitchen. I want it documented so I can remember it. Do you like your kitchen? |
Television Addicts, Unite!
I have never been shy or made excuses about my addiction to television. I love binge watching television. I could start a blog on the Bravo shows, alone. In fact, I do many of my projects with the television on as background entertainment. If I'm working in the garage, I usually take the iPad out there.
I know this is a contradiction to my addiction, but I don't like the way a television looks in a room....yes...crazy! I think these are really creative and attractive solutions for incorporating a television into the decor.
Do you hide it or flaunt it?

Chinoiserie Chic is in the House...Guest Post
OK, pinch me....ending my week off from blogging is my friend Beth from
kitchens (and they are few and far between) that would serve as
inspiration in creating my own Chinoiserie Chic kitchen. I thought you
might enjoy seeing the rooms that inspired me and how I interpreted
them in my space.
but glamorous touch
