Ready??

A few weeks ago, I shared the start of our kitchen remodel journey. I compared re-doing a kitchen to editing a book. Books and kitchens are big projects that challenge our imagination, planning, and determination. Plus more calmness then I have ever before shown and a sense of humor helps, too. Now that the kitchen is finished, I can say that writing a book and building a kitchen are more than just tasks and jobs. It’s about the heart and soul of each creation.

When I write a book, I want to entertain, inspire, and encourage my friends and hopefully add some joy and beauty to their lives.

Well, a kitchen is really the same isn’t it? We want to have a welcoming place to share love, fun, and good times with with each other and with our family and friends.

Now that I have had a few weeks to get acquainted with my new kitchen, I have to say that I’m happier, I really am. I’m calmer, more serene, and more joyful, too. I am uplifted by the beauty and craftsmanship- I have a happy oasis.

(And yes, I did mumble something to my husband about adding to the value of our home, resale, investment, blah blah, but- whatever!- I love my granite countertops!)

I promise to keep an air of expectancy as we see how our new kitchen enhances our lives. I’m praying for happy times to love my family and friends as we break bread together and share meals, holidays and good times, in the days ahead!

Wouldn’t it be marvelous if you could all stop by?!

My New Kitchen!

Drumroll, please!

Here is is!

Something Special

A Different View

More Space and Storage! 

Thanks for all the months you listened to me about this project.

What do you think of it?
