More Inspiration

I spent alot of the day on the internet yesterday. I was packing, and feeling frayed and anxious. I kept running back and forth to the computer, checking and re-checking my favorite blogs, site, and then ended up browsing more pictures.

Here are a few that I found:

Our new old house has a huge laundry room. I'd really like to put french doors to the outside, and utilize the room a laundry and mudroom. I love the use of cabinets and shelves to make this look more like a furnished room, not just a laundry room. A table to fold laundry on would be so nice- even though hubby insists it'd just be place for more junk... I want one of those ironing boards that folds back up into the wall, too.

I LOVE these pendant lights. And the blue tile counter. The porch screen door is actually to the panty- clever, huh? We could SO do this to the utility room-that-can-be-a-pantry-instead...
This is a completely different look, with fun chandeliers in the kitchen. I love the built in plate rack.
Check out the sink! I have found them online, but apparently they are very heavy, and made in China. I'd like to find one on this side of the ocean. I also like the island, which our kitchen sort of has already... we certainly have the room! I like the beadboard backsplash too, but think something scubbable would be better.

I like the idea of open shelving for at least part of the kitchen. It adds a nice airiness to the room. Plus, some focal interest for some cool old kitchen things. And maybe some jars of candy!


enjoy! hugs, Lee

Finding that Kitchen Sink will be a challenge, I would guess.

But it looks like it is worth the effort of finding. Purdy!... and BIG!

Wow, what a lot of wonderful photos. Can't wait to see what you do. I think my favorite is the screen door on the pantry.

The beadboard might work if you used the right paint. Maybe an eggshell instead of a flat? LOVE the pictures can't wait to see what you do with the house. Although moving away is very hard, you will adjust and you will find new friends that seem like family before you know it; ask me I know!
