My Kitchen - Updated

So here is an updated look of my kitchen.

You can see how the kitchen looked before here. I hope you like it!

My collection of globes is expanding and I can't wait to get some smaller ones to fill in the spaces. I am obsessing over this one. I still need to find something to fill in above the pantry door and I have a few things in mind.

The view into the living room.

View across from the sink. Cabinets need hardware

and the lamp in the corner is screaming for an update.

How awesome are those Anthropologie-esque dish towels!!

They were a steal at Tuesday Morning for around $8 each.

Rug is from TJMaxx. The scheme of the rug mimics

the rug in the living room and I Love It!

Brass elephant dresses up the sink. Great $1 find at Goodwill.

View into breakfast area. Chairs still need to be painted and seats need to be re-covered. I would also love to change out the chandelier to something a little more funky.

Table top is covered in chalkboard cloth (more on that later).

The bowl was handmade by my Cousin's husband. Isn't it gorgeous?!?!

I like to keep our washable crayons in it for easy access for Malone.

I'm loving the way it is coming together! Stay tuned for more about my kitchen table redo.

My Office...Finally!

Yay!!! I can't believe it. It's finally D-O-N-E! I want to say a big thank you to the Hubs and his Dad. Without them the office would not be possible!! You guys rock!

I am horrible at before pics. So just imagine this as a completely empty wasted space. It was originally meant for a mudroom but we opted out since it was an upgrade. So for 3+ years this space has been a catch all of well, junk. We have a mac and for the past year we have stored it in various places. Our fave place is our couch and since Malone is extremely active, we figured the couch wasn't the safest place. Enter office idea. I still am on the search for the right file cabinet that I will place to the left of the chair but for now it is perfect. I LOVE it and hope you do too!

Chalkboard wall. The wall says "Favorite Things Party 2011"

but more on that later.

Curtains are from World Market and rug is from Tuesday Morning.

Ghost chair is from TJMaxx and you can see my post about it here.

Teal office supplies from Wal-Mart, who knew?

Mail system from Target. Whew, looks like I need that

file cabinet sooner rather than later. Lamp from Target.

Blogs and Coffee sign from Made by Girl and key rack from Southern Living at Home which I think is now called Willow House?

This office was so much fun and a much needed space in our home. I'm sure I will tweak it as I go but for now it is a perfect place to blog/pinterest stalk and a cheery place to pay the dreaded bills.

Have a great day!

Funny Girl

I didn't realize I had so many funny pics of Malone on my computer till I started going through them tonight. This girl is really getting a cute little personality. She does some seriously funny stuff. It's amazing to me that she is already 18 months old. Time really does fly!
