Erika Powell

One source of inspiration for our kitchen makeover was a makeover Erika Powell did on her old kitchen years ago.  They removed some soffits and added in open shelves and painted everything.  Even though we didn't remove any soffits, her ability to make her kitchen into a space that better suits her without spending a ton completely inspired me.

But I just found out her home has been featured in Garden and Gun and apparently they did a huge addition and renovation in 2012.  Still love everything about her home.  All images from Garden and Gun.











I love that she kept some elements from her original kitchen redo, like the cabinet color and it looks like she reused the shelves around the flower sink.  It fits into its surroundings so well, and is so cohesively done.  I have always wanted an outdoor shower and now have aspirations to an outdoor tub too!  Love, love, love this home.

Something for Monday

This is the first summer in 25 years that I have not held down at least 1 full time job.  And I made the decision to make this the SUMMER OF FUN for my kids!  Which is great!  We are doing so much!  They are learning responsibility and time management (kind of).  But it's leaving me very little time for things like blogging, reading or writing them.  But I am kind of getting some things done around the house, little things, but still, so maybe I will manage soon to find some time to record them.  Until then I'm going to pretend that I have a corner like this to myself, maybe with a little Wi-Fi action.

Happy Monday!
