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

feel good days


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

{beth retro @ flickr}

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.

eye sore solution


The solution to hide a washer & dryer was simple genius.
{a shower tension rod & Ikea drapes}
I'M SO EXCITED!
I tested the bathroom shower rod & it fits my eye sore.
I'll update you when I get the project rolling.
