~~~ My Winter Kitchen~~~~

Before we get to the kitchen, this is what we woke up to this morning! MORE SNOW!!! The weatherman got it all wrong. Said we would get sleet and freezing rain overnight, THEN snow. WRONG! It sure is pretty though!

 It was a very wet, heavy snow.

 I took this to show it coming down.

This was at 10:00 this morning.

So, come on in to the kitchen. This is the counter between the kitchen and breakfast room. The sliding glass doors go out to a small deck where we grill. In the summer:):) I have the ivy next to the lamp cause I hate seeing the darn cord!

 This is a -palm tree lamp I got several years ago at....are you ready....WALMART! For $15.00!!!! With the shade:):):)

 This plate hides Joe's vitamins:) And the plastic glass he uses to fill the Keurig.

I love bamboo and I love black accents.

 Candle holders in black.

 Do you remember at Christmas when this hutch held all the snowmen???? Looks alot differnt now!

 Here is a better picture of the ceramic plates I got at HG the other day!

 My kitchen table. With my new candle and arrangement.

 Palm tree placemats. Can ytou tell I wish I were in a palm tree paradise???:):)

 The kitchen server.

 The runner on the server. It came from Home Goods too! I think I keep our local HG in business:):)

 The valance that is on the kitchen window. I found this at......Home DEPOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I thought I wouod spin the arrangement around for you to see everything that is in it. Like I said yesterday, I could not have made this for $14.99!!!!!!

 I lit the candles to show you! I LOOOVE candle light!

 Remember I had snowman pictures here at Christmas.

I LOVE the rustic quality of these pots. They have 2 little metal handles too.

 I have collected pottery for many years. I have stored alot of it away and decidee to get some out for a change of pace in here for winter. I really love the markings and coloring of this piece. I love covered jars.

 I bet you know how I use this.....

 TA DA!

 There are 2 of these hanging wicker vases. They fit this space perfectly and hang on the window molding.

So, there you have it, my kitchen in the winter. I am enjoying the sparser, cleaner look. Soon it will all change again for SPRING!!!!! But I will enjoy this for awhile now. Thanks for stopping by. I love your comments!!!!! XO, Pinky Don't forget, you can click on pictures to enlarge.
