Isn't this kitchen beautiful? And so functional!!

I did it!!

Sorry for the bad pictures, it is ridiculously difficult to get good shots while facing a sun-filled window! But I couldn't wait any longer to take some.

For now they're operating as purely decorative, and I might add they make my window look much bigger! Never a bad thing, I'm thinking. Hopefully someday they'll get to have the spotlight to themselves but for now they're enjoying backing up their friends--the white curtains :)

And I must say I definitely love the ring clips. Not only does it require no sewing for the top, but I love the way it looks...I might have to adjust the other curtains so they can have ring clips too! (plus I think that'd go a long way in making this look more cohesive...the differences in how they're hung is kind of driving my type A personality crazy!)

Things that make me smile...

There are too many great things in this kitchen...I don't even know where to start! The open shelf island? The light fixtures? The hood? The faucet? The stools? The cutting board inset on the island? The glass cabinets? And then there's the archway framing this beautiful room!

The final lesson...

good things come to those who wait! :)

I made these sugar cookies for my cousin's bridal shower...pretty cool huh? I love how personalized they are! (of course, that is the point!)
good thing there weren't any left...I have a serious weakness for sugar cookies...

PS: The message cookie cutters are from Williams-Sonoma if anyone's interested in making their own. It come with 3 cookie shapes & endless possibilities!! Check it out here.

I'm willing it so...

It is time for spring!

I'm hoping if I get all ready & pretend it is spring then maybe the weather will follow suit!

It's at least worth a shot!

okay weather...I'm ready! Bring on the sunshine!

Everyone needs to experience a bath like this sometime! Don't you think!?
