Welcome To My New Home (Part 2)...

I have decided this may be a 4 part series. I know, you are just about to pee with excitment aren't you? ;) The reason for this is, I haven't taken pictures of my bedroom yet (even though it hasn't changed much from this), and I still need to find some pictures for my bathroom walls. But, today, I'm going to show you the kitchen! So, here we go!

Above is the kitchen view from my living room. This kitchen is a good bit smaller than the one in my previous apartment, but I love it so much more! It is laid out much better and I have lots of cabinet and counter space. I have really enjoyed cooking meals in here. It feels very cozy to me.

This is the view from over near the laundry room.

On top of my cabinets, I've put rope lighting along the tops. Someone twittered about this tip, so I tried it out and couldn't be happier! It give a beautiful glow at night, but it's not so bright that it's distracting at all. It's about $15 for 18 feet of rope lights. I had to drill a hole in the top of my cabinet where the overhead microwave is for the plug. It took all of about 10 minutes to finish this little project.

This sign was gift and I've hung it over my sink. I don't know why, but it makes me laugh.

My mom made this candle with some shells she found on the beach. Just heat up a spot on the candle to melt the wax a little and press in a shell. I'm currently working on making some more. Very, very easy!

Well, that's pretty much my little kitchen. I hope you enjoyed seeing it!

Have a great day!
