Come on in! Kitchen & Dining Room

Trying to get back into the swing of things with blogging again and I thought I’d link up with Momfessionals today for part of her home tour!  Our kitchen and dining room still have some lengthy to-do lists (paint kitchen cabinets WHITE, add hardware, finish valances, update light fixtures, add pendants, repaint doors, new rugs…whew, it’s exhausting just typing all that out) but here they are anyway!

This first picture was taken forever ago (pre-Harper – hence the only 3 stockings on the fireplace)

Here’s one of the unfinished valances – I have the fabric, just not the time!

I love the space in our kitchen and my giant island, but I am more than ready to paint these cabinets white (and ideally finish out our hardwood floors in here, too!).  The door you see above on the left leads into our dining room (which from the old picture above you can see used to be red)…

We really only use this room if we have company – not to be formal, but just because we can seat up to 8 comfortably at this table (more if we’re really friendly ;)) and we don’t have that space in the breakfast nook.

That’s all! Thanks for stopping by!  :)
