Since I haven't shown you much of the kitchen since last winter, I'm gonna join Sheila at Note Songs for her Heart of the Home tour today.
A little piece of advice for anyone who's planning a kitchen: DO NOT LET YOUR ELECTRICIAN TALK YOU INTO POWER OUTLETS IN THE UNDER CABINET LIGHTING STRIP!! I can't tell you how much I regret doing this. There are only two words for these things...Ug. Ly.
That wild bunch of branches in the white french cache pot was another "present" from B this weekend. He whacked it down at the hunt club and lugged it home. Isn't that sweet?
Guess what this is?
He's the latest acquisition in my quest to ramp up the funk factor in this house. More of that mid-life crisis thing, I guess. I so do not want to have an old lady house.
An heirloom blue pumpkin from the farmer's market and a yellow bowl I bought for $1 at the Nester's yard sale a couple weekends ago. The copper fleur de lis cookie cutter is from Sur la Table.
More farmer's market goodness.
I've shown you the stove before (don't look, Lori!),
but I added the fall stuff up above for, well, Fall.
The red candle is a Capri Blue from Anthropologie. Get one. You'll think you've died and gone to heaven... and heaven turned out to be an Anthro store.
The soapstone countertops are hangin' in there just fine.
My cookbooks serve only one purpose - to look pretty on the shelves.
I did make B a peach cobbler (from scratch, even!) this afternoon. It's in the oven while I'm typing this. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thanks, Sheila!
Your kitchen is fabulous. I am in love with your stove!

Your kitchen should be in a magazine! I love the earthy quality your house has with the antlers and the wheat and the animal touches. I don't know if "earthy" is the right word, but I love the look!
ReplyDeleteHi T! Oh, what a most gorgeous kitchen you have! I'd be in hog heaven to have one like yours! Look at your stove - whoa - and a mantel above it! Love your little cow painting too! Your kitchen is just gorgeous and I'm so excited you came to my party! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Very impressive but what is that 'thing' by your backsplash? It looks like an upside down duck.
ReplyDeleteBesides the dead fowl, you have a great eye! Beautiful.

Gorgeous kitchen! I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen...very classic! Sorry we couldn't go see the Home Tour together...maybe next time! Did you find anything when you went up to the sale?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful my friend! The cow adds plenty of funk, but the rest is timeless!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love love love it!
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is beautiful! I love the cabinets, farmers sink and the lighting. The cow painting is adorable.

Gurl! This is such a beautiful kitchen! Everything is perfect, right down to the upside down fowl/dead duck. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteThank y'all for saying such sweet things about my kitchen. The blog world is an amazing place!
ReplyDeleteDonna, you are too funny! I can't believe you don't like my dead bird art. Well, actually, I can. I did a post about it a few months ago, and you're not the only one.
Allison, I bought the cow at Blacklion in Charlotte. The artist is Dianne Whitehead.
Pam, You would not believe the sale. It started at 10 and by the time I got there at around 10:30 it was slim pickings already. You could almost feel the panic - women were practically just grabbing whatever was within arm's reach and almost every large piece of furniture already had a sold tag on it. It was nuts. I did get a few cute things though.
i l.o.v.e. your kitchen. i can't decide if i like your windows, your stove or you sink best. not your dead duck - lol!!!! you are so talented!!
ReplyDeleteHello Tee,
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen especially that stove and those chairs at the bar.
Please come see my kitchen and check out my book giveaways.
Awesome! You have a great kitchen! It is just wonderful!

Love your kitchen!!! You did a beautiful job. Kathy
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is so beautiful and so much my taste! I am glad you like your soapstone counter tops. We need to upgrade and I don't want to do granite if I can help it. It will be forever before we make a decision. LOVE the Cow art!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the white pumpkin on your silver cake tray! And, yes big fan of that huge stove as well. Thanks for sharing, *Becca*
ReplyDeleteWell you definitely do not have an old lady house! Your kitchen is perfect. I love white kitchens and all of mine have been white until our present one! Interested to see that you like the soapstone counters. I'm trying to decide what to do with ours. Love your cow! Linda
ReplyDeleteWow! Every detail is simply gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Tee! I so LOVE your kitchen! Beautiful!!! And I LOVE LOVE the cow painting!!! Where did you find that?? PERFECTION!!
ReplyDeleteLou Cinda :)
I love that cow! She's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't have an old lady house to start with, but I love the little surprises. Still drooling over your island. Love!
I LOVE your kitchen! Even the funky cow! : )
ReplyDeleteI've missed reading your blog!
First of all, your kitchen is stunning.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I don't want my house to look like an old lady's house either.
I have some ideas brewing, but I may wait until after the first of the year.

I love your stove...outstanding! That is one cute cow...You have a beautiful kitchen. Linda
ReplyDeleteWowser... you did a fantastic job on your kitchen! It is spectacular. I love your lantern fixtures, the island stools, your sink and faucett, your soapstone counters, the rug in front of your range... I really could go on and on. Oh, and your cow art is a total home run. I'm thinking I need to inject some pops of color in my kitchen like you did. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Beautiful Beautiful! I can't think of much else to say really....!!!
ReplyDeleteI am very late doing kitchen visits. My house flooded when I posted my about my kitchen for Sheila's party so I am way behind!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Such a beautiful kitchen!! I love these room tours.
ReplyDeleteWow beautiful kitchen! And I am loving the boot storage. Can I ask what kind each of them are in the pic above and where you got them?? I am in desperate need for some fall boots of all colors and all of yours look absolutely perfect and so darn cute!! THanks for sharing!

Your kitchen is fabulous. All the elements you have just make it homier. I also love the earthy colors you got like white, brown or beige, and all the other color schemes for closets Bergen. I also love you stove and that backdrop. Is that a bird? Anyway, I love everything about your kitchen.
