I'm a follower of "Kelly's
Korner" blog--she's Harper's Mom (I used to have a sticker up on this blog) and she seems so sweet! Kelly gives me a little taste of how different things are down south. If you have a chance,check out her blog--if you think I take lots of pictures of Dominic--you will fall over when you see all the photo shoots of cute, little Harper! Today is "Show us where you live Friday" I decided to participate!

The room chosen for today was "Kitchen". I took a few pictures and decided to showcase on a few of my favorite aspects of our kitchen. We spend a LOT of time in here..cooking, eating, entertaining. Enjoy a little sneak peek into our home! :)

Our kitchen (taken from the dining area). I love all the counter space and the high ceilings. The white cabinets are a pain to keep clean but I think they are beautiful with the light blue walls.

Taken from the breakfast bar..you can
just see the tops of the chairs. From here you can see into the living room--which will be handy when Dominic is stirring up trouble!

I LOVE this hanging rack and even though it was only $3.99 from Bed, Bath & Beyond I will still probably take it with me when the time comes to move.

Here is our mail center (looking in from the living room). You can also see my beloved Artisan Mixer--most likely my favorite appliance! And the "Mia
Cucina" plaque. I like to add a bit of Italian splashes in here and there.

A little blurry? But here you can see Lou's
cutlery set (on the house tour he gives he will 99% of the time show off the cleaver..why!?
lol) and the bottle washing station.

The
refrigerator-we have magnetic stickies on there.

This is such a nice area to prepare food..so open and spacious.

My cow creamer dispenser...ask me how many times I've used it. None. Ha! But I think she's adorable and Bessie is staying!

The dining area. We've removed a chair to make room for Dominic's high chair. I love the lighting fixture in here-Lou did a great job picking it out!

View from the living room. A 1/2 bath is to the right. You can see the
doggie dishes..and one of our pups. She follows me everywhere!
