I can hardly believe it myself. Not only have I been managing to post at least five times a week, but today I am adding a second post....lol.... I have been playing around with my blog and giving myself a fresh clean look for summer. (If you can't see my new banner and background try refreshing the page). And all that sprucing up made me stop and take a look around my home. I know most of you have seen pretty much all of my home in previous photos I have shared, but I was looking back at those photos thinking how much better they could be with the right lighting and my much improved photography skills. So, I grabbed my camera and started snapping away. I haven't changed much in the kitchen and dining room, but I decluttered and cleaned up a bit to share a new perspective on the space.
I took quite a few pictures, so I hope you don't mind scrolling through them all... Maybe I went a little overboard? :)
Hope you enjoyed the tour of our kitchen and dining room. I'll see if I can spruce up some more rooms in our house for some updated photos. I know I always enjoy a peek inside other's homes.
FYI: The "PARIS" letters that people always ask me about I bought at a flower shop several years ago in Villa Park, CA. I'm sorry to say they no longer carry them and I'm not sure where you can find them now. :(
Love the new look of your blog. And your home is so beautiful!

Oh I'm so happy! You posted more pictures of your house. I was going through withdrawals, but now I'm feeling much better! Your kitchen is beautiful.

Hi Sara!
Looks great:)
Love the movement and the color of the granite.
Stainless, touches of black and creamy colors are so calming.
I think Ballard Designs has the Paris Letters...or use to...
Thanks for sharing!
