an unconventional home

Inspired by… kitchens

by

I’ve been thinking a lot about kitchens lately. It may because we will be planning a new kitchen in the near future. (See this post. And for those of you who care, one of these two homes will indeed be ours. With any luck, this means a late-June closing date.) But, kitchens are something that […]

From honey oak to fresh white

Our television hutch has a new look, and I think I love it. The inspiration for this redo was Traci at Beneath my Heart. She made over her television cabinet last July and I thought, “Hey!
