I’ve always wanted a country kitchen.  Every vision board I do–includes a kitchen that is inviting and homey.  When we moved into this house I wasn’t thrilled with the black granite and the painted white cabinets–did I mention the pergo floor?  I thought it was way too FANCY for me.  My friend, Sandy said to me before we moved “I hope you get the kitchen you deserve!”  And I thought about that with each house we looked at . . .

I love my kitchen now–I decided not to try to make it perfect.  The cheap paint is chipping away and I’m letting it go . . . each time I scrub it feels more like a “real” country kitchen.  The pergo is not holding up to the number of miles walked upon it, and our table for 6 barely fits–but slowly I’m making it a country kitchen.

Today I’m writing over at Live Renewed.  Emily has this great series Green in 365–I highly recommend it!  Guess what I wrote about?

• it is in the kitchen
• it is beautiful to look at
• they are upcycled
• I’ve had them all my life
• someone else made them
• you probably have a few too!

Be Blessed.
