wood countertops

mr. simple says we need wood counter tops for the kitchen remodel

he is convinced that they are the best choice

so....

i have had to brainstorm the look i want to work around HIS wood counter tops.

so...
here are my ideas{Dear World, You're pretty!}
i must have a chandelier
and white cabinets,
it works well here

{Of Stars and Butterflies}
not only should the cabinets be white, but
they must be simple
no hardware

{Of Stars and Butterflies}
i actually like the look of the wood against the
modern cabinets
it's homey & yet it's fresh
a touch of sparkle with clean lines
i like
i really like

some days
don't you wish you could just
hang on a tire swing
with your head hanging back
feeling the sun on your face
dangling your arms
carefree
nice

mother's prayer

God, give me the wisdom to make good decisions concerning my kids.
They are my everything.
As they grow up & go through their ups & downs,
show me how to
help them
protect them
guide them
support them
lift them up.
Show me when to hold on & when to let go.
Show me when to speak & when to listen.

The solution to hide a washer & dryer was simple genius.

I've been looking for something more stylish to put Mr. Simple's fish tank on.
I like the piece above.
I've seen it at Ikea.
The sofa is cute too.
And of coarse BLACK & WHITE always RoCkS!

Sary {urban by design} bought this brick Philadelphia rowhouse that was built in the early 1900's.
She totally renovated the first floor.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
