I have no clue... what makes a kitchen homey?

P.s. No one has said anything about my new avatar... what's up with that? No love? I'm thinking I'll "class" up the place.

Very very pretty Patticake! And uh, oh yeah, I LOVE the purple LOL Makes my purple (er um, I mean "grey violet" and "black current") look dull! I really need to take some pics, still haven't taken pics of my kitchen yet. Maybe I'll do that this week.

I do want to incorporate that color of purple, or maybe just a shade darker into my kitchen. I'm kinda leaning towards a grape/wine theme.

Thanks ddpie, I love my dining room.The flowers on the window are from my wedding 3 yrs ago.

I am going to rearrange it again pretty soon. My dh is going to tear out a wall on the kitchen side. We are going to make it kind of L shaped.We have a small bedroom on the other side of the wall that has french doors going out to the patio{Only other way to get to it is to go out the through the carport from the kitchen and walk around the back of the house]This house was built in 1965] Makes for inconvenient cookouts.There is a long closet with sliding doors in there we are going to use as a pantry and the other side I am goping to use as a small office. I will probably use it for my baking supplies. There is a gas fireplace behind my Bakers rack in the dining room that we have never used, and I have 2 china cabinets,1 with dishes and 1 with Porcelain dolls that I have collected over the yrs. I really need to get rid of some stuff.!!!LOL My dh is building a huge shed in the backyard w/ 3 rooms in it 1 of which will be mine to put all of my craft supplies in. So when he gets through with that project he can start on the kitchen.

We have a wall that seperates our kitchen and dining room. I've been threatening for years that hubby will come home one day and I will have it torn out. I would go ahead and do it (believe it or not, I've done it before) but I'm affraid my back can't handle that much activity these days. LOL besides, I can't decide if I want to keep my mobile kitchen island or build a breakfast bar....perhaps I should just start drawing plans on the wall, maybe he'll get scared and offer to do it for me, ya think? (nahhhh, just wishful thinkin')
