My kitchen...

Okay, so this house was built in 2006.. and we bought it in 2008. So, really, it's not that old. There's nothing "wrong" with it, per se, it's just that some of the things are not "us".

For example, the backsplash in the kitchen features tile in which every 3rd or 4th one has heiroglyphic/cave art embellishments on it. Just not "me". The cabinets are fine.. ivory thermafoil with 8-inch stainless steel pulls. The counters are regular brown fleck formica. The walls are standard builder's beige. I know how to do tiling, having completed several backsplashes and a couple tile floor jobs.. so that doesn't phase me. I am hoping I can convince the hubby that *this* is what our kitchen needs :) ( just gathered various pictures from the www :) ***click to enlarge***

I'll let you know if I am successful :)

Okay.. so like...

WHEW... I am glad that's over! LOL. I love holidays, don't get me wrong... but the baking and cooking over a hot stove had me WORN right out! We enjoyed a dinner of ham and baked pineapple, scalloped taters, glazed carrots, homemade buns and lemon meringue pie... and I ate wayyy too much easter chocolate. I have a weakness for Mini Eggs. Oi vey.
The easter bunny went way overboard (I don't believe in outright presents for Easter, but none the less, I am not complaining).... he brought me a Lindt gold bunny and a huge bag of mini eggs... and THESE:

I think the easter bunny went a TAD bit overboard, and perhaps wants me to feel guilty? LOL. But, they're beautiful... I now have quite the collection of Swarovski.. and it needs to STOP! :) Everytime Eric and I go to dinner at Dante's.. just the two of us.. the waitress ALWAYS brings me a package of the stuff... so I have committed to not going there anymore!

So, Cole turns SIX on April 16th.. who told him he could go ahead and grow up? *sniff* He wanted his room done... so we're getting rid of the bunkbeds and got him this bed (we wanted something solid wood)..

and of course, he needed a quilt set featuring trains... so this Pottery Barn Kids set will grace his bed.. I got it on clearance, in a last ditch effort, I took a quick look at HomeSense's clearance section and voila... one lone twin set with trains! I was so stoked!

Isn't it CUTE? I am also going to be stencilling large words on his wall... I think perhaps "I Think I Can, I Know I Can" .... or if you have any other suggestions... please let me know :)

Before I go, I have to post the most recent layouts... for your viewing pleasure.. hehe.
