shabby little hutch

So the hubby sold his distributions  business and is now home. Like all the time. We are looking for another small business to start up or buy but, right now hes just HOME.

I was soo excited to have him home, untill he went crazy picker on me.  He has watched me pick for the last year and do some small projects around the house.

he hated this one....

he doesn't understand my chalkboards or the frames on the wall that have no pictures in them.

But when i sold a cabinet for 200 bucks that I scored for 25 bucks....well he liked that!

and now he drives all around town looking for a deal.

can I show you what hes brought home.

YEAH!  Pomeranian nesting tables!

He is getting better and has scored some interesting pieces. I will be posting some of my re-dos next week.

Here  is to hoping he finds a new business real soon!!!

VALENTINES PHOTOS AND PROJECTS

I HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS SO THIS POST  IS GOING TO BE SHORT AND SWEET!

AND DON'T FORGET MY LOVES...E AND G!

kitchen tour

So here are some shots of my kitchen.  I love my cabinets and my very bold counters. If i had my way ever 5 years I would change everything, but we live in the real world. Well at least some of the time. We had our house built in 2005 and at that time bold granite was all the rage!

Ok so things I would change:  
 the horrible electric stove...hate it!

I am not loving that make memories sign.
I think I want to paint the kitchen a lighter color.
and lastly i would like the bottom cabinets black.
Oh heck  while I am dreaming i want marble counter tops.


 In reality I LIKE my kitchen

Here is the view into the ??? area.  I think that's where the intended my dining room table to go.  Umm, we are Italian's, dining is a lifestyle.  We have a 12 foot table (PICS NEXT WEEK).  

THIS IS MY INSPIRATION FOR THAT AREA. I love the setup not the material or heavily ornate table. I also love the idea of the cabinet that is tall and enclosed with glass surrounding the window. I am on the hunt for the chairs as we speak!

Sorry for the MIA.  We have been very busy.  I have a garage full of furniture to redo and will be posting new stuff in the coming weeks.
