Vintage on line

January seems to call for fresh and clean. I noticed the other day that the new Country Living cover is dedicated to decorating with white.


I have been drawn to white for a long time and although I love it all through the house, I have always longed for a white kitchen.


In my opinion the ideal white kitchen needs pops of color and texture to keep it from feeling  too cold and sterile.


I actually have a white kitchen now after waiting my whole life. Exciting right? Actually, no. More hideous than exciting.
But I know that will change one day soon and I will appreciate it that much more after having lived with my current kitchen.


In our next house I will finally get my dream kitchen. The Big Guy has given his word. He knows I've been patient with one builder beige kitchen after another.


Plus, he's a really smart guy. He knows that the happier I am in my kitchen the more I'll cook. And make no mistake about it, the Big Guy likes to eat.

For now I will sit here (semi) patiently waiting, dreaming and planning for the day when all my kitchen dreams come true.
