My New Kitchen!!

Okay so seriously it has been since September since I have posted. Where did the time go? Seriously, my life has been a little crazy and I have had to cut back a little. With two funerals and a crazy 2 year old I have had my little plate full.

My mom came to save me a few weeks ago and I told her I just wanted to see my kitchen finished. We quickly went to work on it and before she left I had a beautiful kitchen to be in. The kitchen is where I spend a lot of my day. I needed to feel good about it and to feel happy when in there serving my little family. Here are the pictures. There are two after pictures you all have been waiting for. The hutch and the kitchen table!! So without further ado here is what you have waited nearly 6 months for.

Here is the finished product of my hutch. It took forever! My sweet husband helped me so much on it. I LOVE it! I thought I would hate it because of what a pain it was! However, it is my FAVORITE!! I love the look. It is so me and I love that! The fun things inside I already had except for the tall red goblets which were.....$5 at walmart on clearance! LOVE IT!!

Here is my TABLE!!! Okay so you know the table that is SOOOO country...you know right?...white legs light oak top.....okay now that we are on the same page...yes that is what this use to be. I left my chairs behind and found these ones for FREE!! Okay so, truth is...I paid $30 for 6 chairs and the table...then I sold the table (since I already had one) for $50. Yes you heard me right I MADE $20 on my thrift store find!! I LOVE THEM! WHY did I wait to do this? My life as a student would have been a little prettier had I given in and just done it! Thanks John for the encouragement!

NOW FOR THE REST OF THE KITCHEN.....

I have such fun consignment stores around me. When my mom and I went we KNEW that little chef and scale belonged in my kitchen!! I couldn't help but think it HAD to have the words Bon Appetit by him! For a closer look at him....Don't you just LOVE him?? (Mom, I still smile when I look at him!)Here is the other side of the kitchen. I wanted a bird cage. I know, I know, not everyone is fond of them but I LOVE it! I thought I would repaint it but after putting it all together I LOVED the gold. My mom even said the same thing John said...why did you buy that? Then we put it together and look...isn't it so great!

AND NOW FOR THE PICTURE OF THE WHOLE THING PUT TOGETHER........................

A HUGE THANKS TO MY SWEET MOM FOR HELPING ME PULL ALL OF IT TOGETHER....ESPECIALLY THE GREENERY!!! THANKS MOM!
