Our Kitchen
Happy Monday! Because the girls and I were under the weather I have mostly been working on chalkboard art this past week. We will have the one shown here in our kitchen (later in this post) available tomorrow and a St. Patrick’s Day one available early next week, and then the Wuthering Height’s one and an Easter one will be available very soon too! I will try to get a tutorial up next week on how to take one of the the large engineering chalkboard prints and frame it so that you can switch the art out as you like. We have quite a few other exciting things I hope to share with you all in the coming weeks, but in the meantime here are some photos of our kitchen. We haven’t done anything to it so it doesn’t really look any different than the last time we showed it, but I don’t take pictures of it all that often so thought I would share some today.
 

You can see our lovely new fish tank in the background… (they kind of ruin my vignette =) but the girls sure do love them!)

We have the poster sized download of this chalkboard art available in our shop now and will have some prints available tomorrow!  For those of you who missed our first print, “I Love You All the Way to God and Back” we restocked them last night!

I hope you all have a fabulous week!

  7. Love the new sign. One of my all time favorite songs. Thank you for offering the lovely downloads in your shop. Wishing you all a beautiful week. Get well quick.

    1. Thanks! It was actually my mom's but it didn't look quite right in their house so she gave it to me. I was thrilled because it works PERFECT in our kitchen! She got it at Home Decorators Collection.

  14. Love the fruit! Beautiful rug too – would you mind telling us where you got it from? (the one in the kitchen) thanks!!

  15. I love your kitchen! We are about to renovate ours… My kitchen lay-out is almost exactly like yours except we have walls closing it in and appliances in different spots. We are going to be knocking out the walls to open it up and swapping appliances around for a better flow. I was thinking about doing your same lay-out, but wasn't sure of how it would look or if it would even fit. Seeing your kitchen today has made me excited! It looks great and just what I wanted! Do you know the width of your kitchen wall with the closet, fridge, cabinets and stove? Looks amazing!

  19. I don't know what it is about your house, but i just love everything about it. It just looks like "home" to me. I never get tired of staring at the photos of all the rooms. That "Wonderful World" chalkboard print is my favorite… and i love that great rug in front of the sink!

  22. Oh My! I LOVE the chalkboard prints!!! It has become my new favorite addiction, I just wish I had more walls to put them on 🙂
    I can't wait to for the new seasonal ones!!! Please don't stop making them

    Thanks

  29. Its so nice and neat…I love a clean kitchen ( mine has needed a maid since I opened the stores). I do love that houndstooth check rug as well. And the pink fish tank!! (don't tell me you didn't think of painting it white) It all looks great!

    1. I don't know how you have time for anything two stores! And haha – I tried sooooo hard to get just the tiny little basic glass circular fish bowl but of course the man working there told me (with Lillie and Lola listening intently) that the fish would die in that one in just a few days and needed this lovely filtered one which was actually even cheaper than the glass bowls. The girls were horrified that the fish might die in the glass bowl so of course that didn't give me much of an option – ugh! Haha! I originally thought we were going to put it up in Lillie's room so I figured I could handle the hot pink if it was out of sight most of the day. There really wasn't a safe spot for it up there thought so it ended up right smack in the middle of our living area – lucky me! Haha!

  32. Jennifer, I have always loved your kitchen…well, your whole house, really! 🙂 I saw you've been pinning pictures of grey cabinets and I think that would look fabulous in your space! Perhaps a shade darker than the wall?

    Your hot pink fish tank cracked me up…would the girls be OK with fish in a pretty apothecary jar? 🙂

    1. Thank you! Yes, I have been pinning lots of gray cabinets – not for our kitchen, though, for another kitchen! =) Hopefully I will be able to share some more info about that here on the blog soon.

  33. LOVE your new downloads!! Would love to see the "mary had a little lamb" from the baby shower as a chalkboard print or "twinkle, twinkle, little star"! Your work is beautiful!

    1. I am planning on making the Mary Had a Little Lamb as a download as soon as I can photograph the original chalkboard properly. It is up in Jamie's nursery so next time I visit that's on my list of things to do! =) When I photographed it at the shower it wasn't with the idea of turning it into a print or download so I didn't take any pictures at the exact angle I needed. =(

      I will keep Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star in mind for the future! =)

  34. Beautiful pictures of your kitchen! I love the fresh flowers and fruit… the perfect way to freshen up your kitchen for springtime!

  35. Hi there! Your kitchen is gorgeous and I'm curious as to what the name of the grey you used? Love the chalkboard at the end of the cabinets too: ) Thanks!

  38. Hi- Love your kitchen!

    Was wondering about your fruit hanging basket and those buckets. I saw you got them at ikea, where would I look (category) for them at the store.

    thanks!

  39. I love your kitchen! Do you know where I can find that plant hanger you have, with the fruit basket hanging from it? I would love to get one for my kitchen!

  41. Hi, it looks like your upper and lower cabinets are a different colour. Is that correct? If so, what colour are they? Thank you

  42. Hi, I love your kitchen and am thinking of painting my cabinets as well (they are solid wood, but ugly and old). Were yours stained or varnished? Did you strip them or sand them before painting. Thank you

  44. Hey! Can you tell me where you purchased your curtains/rods? I have double doors going out to our backyard and have been looking for something similar. I'm addicted to your blog!!!! 🙂

    1. I am glad you like the blog! The curtains were from JCPenney. I don't think they make that exact set though, anymore. I just did a similar look in our new kitchen (haven't photographed it yet because I just put them up and then we had to unexpectedly leave town) and got those curtains from Ikea and the rods from Lowe's.

  45. Hi! Just love everything about your decorating!!! So inspiring that I will need to get right to work. 😉 Where did you get the carpet that is under your table? I agree…I am addicted to your blog as well! Love it!

  46. Sorry, not under the table (as there isn't one heehee), the one where your couch is..in your family room off the kitchen.
