Are you ready for some crazy talk? I think you are going to start seeing more kitchen tables...in the kitchen. Told you, crazy.I'm not fool enough to think the ubiquitous island will disappear entirely from kitchen design, but I am seeing more and more people make the brave decision to ditch the island and go for a good old kitchen table. And bravo to them. I would much rather sit at a kitchen table and drink chat with...

It is only Monday morning and I already feel behind. How is that for the start of the week? Aces. I hope your weekends were delightful though. And thanks so much for all of your comments on Fess Up Friday. I now have quite a shopping list started for myself.Today I wanted to share a recent experience I had with the good folks at Lamps.com. As I've eluded to in crazy code like ways (I promise I'll divulge more soon)...

So if you are waiting on an email from me I'm sorry I haven't responded yet.But for the moment I just have to vent and let you know that I HATE MY DISHWASHER.We have a Maytag QuietSeries and it has sucked from the first month we got it.It doesn't clean dishes but actually leaves so much goo on them that they are...

Let's have a little before and after, shall we? Everyone...

I was baking cookies the other day and as I waited for the timer to ding I stared at this.I'm over it.Not the shelves, but the white. Ever since I added my lovely new rug by the sink, I've been thinking the other side of the kitchen needed some blue as well.This is where all of those purchases of blue and white come in handy. Proof to the hubs that you can never have too much blue and white. 10 minutes later...Voila....

Happy Paint a Rug Party Reveal Day! Did you get the day off work? Just you wait, next year it will be a national holiday.I've had three weeks to put this sucker together (catch up on week 1 and week 2 if you missed it) so let's see what we've got.First, to answer the question from last week.
