Now that my kitchen is magically beautiful, there are a few things that need to be done.
The beige-y formica retro table is cool, but doesn't go with the white/grey new kitchen.

I'm still trying to...

Why is it that everytime I think I'm done, I realize just how much more I have to do?!
When we finished MOST of the kitchen, we still had to do the bench.

I ordered this fabric, but it was way too busy for my pretty calm kitchen.

So I found something better...

We did some purging.
Who needs this many wooden spoons?!

Or this many spatulas?

(construction dirt, not just filthy utensils).
In the kitchen work this weekend we realized the newly painted drawers has been tagged.

It definitely wasn't me who let that child have a pen.
Nothing a little Mr. Clean Magic Eraser couldn't handle.

Our fabric came for the banquette - chosen by your recommendations.

Yesterday, I wore my face mask and cut tile. A lot of tile.
And I put it on the wall.
