Heart of the Home Party!!

Hi All!

I am joining the lovely Sheila for her Heart of the Home Party.

I've already toured so many of your wonderful kitchens!

What a great idea for a party!  Thanks Sheila!

Below is how our kitchen looked when we moved in three years ago.

The counters, flooring and appliances were only a year old.  The oak cupboards are older but still in good condition. 

The walls were painted a really drab beige and in need of some color!
So with a wee budget we tried to add a little pizazz to this kitchen!

Another dark view.  BB, meaning before blogging! There are great windows in here and it's probably my favorite feature.

Hubby added new pulls and knobs and the faux tin back splash!

I love the look and have been very pleased with it!

We painted, added a new faucet and light fixtures.

My antique hutch had previously sat at the end of this long kitchen.  I like it so much better here.

And this is how our table looked when we moved in.

And when we moved the hutch we needed something really awesome to put in this space.

Hubby to the rescue!  I found a pic of what I wanted and he built me this beautiful armoire!

It holds a ton of stuff and I got the cottage look I was seeking!

And with the armoire painted Cottage white I thought the table would look good that way as well.
Hubby to the rescue again!
He painted our 30 year old table and it looks just how I want! 

And for just the cost of paint!

Then I got busy and painted the old deacon bench!

A little Autumn tablescaping!

A few more views.

I've been so busy helping my daughter with the baby that this post is kind of a mish-mash of things.
I hope you understand. 
Take Care Everyone,
Cindy
