I am the worst blogger ever! I have finally taken photos of my “finished” kitchen. You may remember the awful before, seen here. Finished is in quotations because I now see all of the things it is lacking!! Oh well, that can be another blog on another day.
So without further adieu…

I had to accessorize to break up the white out! This is how it really looks on a daily basis, with maybe one or two dirty glasses.

My super functional basket! It holds my dish soap, herbs, drain stoppers, and of course sponges. Available at Parish.
Well what do you guys think? I think I need the following things to really finish the job:
1. beautiful antique oushak rug
2. window treatments of some sort
3. a hood instead of my ugly microwave
4. the LOTTERY!
Hope you guys enjoyed reading about it. Paul and I are definitely enjoying using it!!









I love it..but then I love everything you do. Mom
Hi Amanda!
Depending on the style of your home, you could do a pretty fabric valance mounted on medallions above the sink or, if you prefer a shade, a solid textured fabric, even burlap, woiuld be nice especially if you would like some privacy. You could trim the shade with a wide flat braid, or stencil a pretty design around the edges.
As for your idea about the antique oushak, it would be really pretty but, if you use your kitchen a lot, like I do, it would be hard to keep it clean. Everyone spills something eventually. Keep it away from the cooking area. There are lots of pretty indoor/outdoor rugs that are great for work areas and easy to care for.
Love what you have done and hope this helps!
