in somer's kitchen
There's something so beautifully tidy yet picturesquely ramshackle about Somer's cabinets. They make me feel like I'm in France. It's like a still life by Morandi. There's something about teacups dangling by their handles that gets me every time. And no, her cabinets aren't really on a slant, it's my picture-taking eye that seems to be.
On another kitchen-related note, our new dishwasher makes a noise like a far off ocean bell buoy as it gently cleans and chimes our stemless wine glasses.
Yesterday I painted the kitchen with two coats of white paint. I got so much done I even hung some framed stuff. Pretty soon we'll be all done in there and I can show you. I'm going to take it slow until it's all done. Some projects you just can't force. (what can you force, really? hmm. food for thought. for me.)

I have been trying not to force our kitchen complete either. I generally love it but want to put up some artwork and just have not found what is right yet. I still have the prints I took down before we painted and tiled but I just can't decide.
Somer's kitchen looks so welcoming and inviting. We have the dangling mugs too...I know what you mean about 'getting you every time' :~). Looking forward to seeing your kitchen ~ enjoy slow :~)
tea cups hanging from little hooks on a slant are to die for :) you got a lot done...on your "day off". i guess that wash painting the walls is pretty restful, though, in a way.
Stephanie ~ Yeah, it seems like those little finishing touches can take so long to figure out and tidy up. We are still deciding where to put the strainer and the wooden spoons and those extra bowls and things like that. I'm working on framing some artwork tomorrow, so that should make it look more cohesive on the walls anyhow!
Helen ~ Yes it does, doesn't it - We can't have hanging mugs for there's not really space...maybe in our next house. I'm enjoying slow. Yes.
Jenna ~ I know, it wasn't really a day off after all. But it felt so good to get such a large chunk of stuff done! It's starting to be almost finished now, which is a big weight off my mind. I can take a day off soon...
