Thank you so much for sharing your journey and workshopping us as you go. You are just going to love being in this fabulous space you have created, and so will guests.<br />You have created such a warm home for yourself, and guests must enjoy the feast of interesting objects you have assembled when they are visiting.

I like my cooking pots to be multi-functional. I buy few, but I buy top quality. I particularly love stainless steel - I like slow-cooking. I take good care of them and they are easy to clean. I can't imagine needing more than two frying pans. I buy beautiful to my eye, so I always enjoy using them.<br /> From what I have observed on your blog you have created a warm home that embraces your unique-ness, and says welcome, come and enjoy my space for a while, to guests. It's a feast to the eye.

This post has me chuckling. I (and my husband) are hunter gatherers/hoarders by nature and have a hard time parting with STUFF. Here I thought you were organized and meticulous...now I like you even more!! You might find red wine in my oven...who knows. I marvel at Joan's (for the love of a house) drawers. If you cracked open one of my drawers you might find one of Beau's bones.

I like that glossy white ceiling. I've been thinking of putting a beadboard ceiling in my own kitchen, and your finish is a great inspiration. Your whole kitchen is!Mark D.
