Heart of the Home Party!

Welcome to my Kozy Kountry Kitchen!

Wednesday the 13th is the Heart of the Home party at Shelia's blog NoteSongs. I will be joining her for all the fun tours. Make sure you head over and see all of the beautiful kitchens.

AND

Tuesday is always Table Top Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life.

Make sure you check all the lovely vignettes out. Lots of wonderful ideas.

No fancy, schmancy counter tops or appliances. Just simple.

See the backsplash? Looks like tile right? It's not... It is a faux finish... One of the things that I love about my little kitchen...

These cabinets are one of the things that sold me on the kitchen 7 years ago when I bought the home.

The house was built over 15 years ago and the kitchen definitely needs some updates, but I still love it the way it is. I know that some of the pros out there will say that there is to much on top of my cabinets ... but I have collected these family items over decades.

If I had all the money in the world what would I change?

I would have white cabinets and a mix of marble and wood counter tops. An apron skirt sink. That's it. Oh, maybe a little bigger foot print and more cabinet space.

I would still have all the clutter... I can't help it... I love it! It reminds me of all the wonderful cooks in my family. All the wonderful holidays and family dinners...
And YES! I would still have all white appliances! How OLD FASHION!

What's on the range? A big pot of Chili! Perfect for a cooler day.

I even keep a glass right by the sink. We still drink sink water every now and then (gasp!)

It is so true! Your kitchen really is the heart of the home. Make sure your kitchen reflects you more than a magazine or "style". Give it more heart than style.

Make sure you check out my giveaway for Fresh Cut Friday on November the 5th!

Just popping in to show you this fall wreath that I made! I'm so tickled with the way it turned out. It's hanging on the front door.

This is the wreath hanging in the kitchen. I didn't make this one, but it was on sale last year at Michaels.

Is anyone else having issues with blogger not uploading images tonight?

Very irritating!

ANY HOO! Come by tomorrow and I will be announcing my give away

Enjoy your Sunday evening.

I'm joining Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday!

Make sure you stop by and see all the lovely vignettes and table tops!

What's by Your Sink?

I know that I am not the only one out there that has more plates than I know what to do with! I am always looking for new ways to use them. So I thought that I would share one with you...

This is just a cookbook easel that I stacked 4 different sized plates in.

I am a huge supporter of surrounding yourself with what you love!

NOW!
For a little teaser .....

What does this....
or this .....



Have to do with THIS?
