my favorite spaces in our home

The kitchen is my favorite room in our house.

I love that we were able to do everything we wanted to when we renovated.

(I really do have the most magnificent husband ever)

I could spend hours here, planning meals, baking, and talking with family and friends who sit at the bar while I work.

The kitchen is directly adjacent to the great room.

It is where we spend most of our time when we are home.

We are blessed to have boys who like to hang around their parents (granted their parents are incredibly cool... - I can write that because they NEVER read my blog...).

It is also where I display most of my collections.

(my boys DO NOT understand why I would want said collections...)

Have a lovely evening mes amies~

bon weekend~

Don't you just love Fridays? Mind you, they aren't as fabulous as Saturdays, but it is like they are a little teaser to what is coming... Today is especially nice as the boys are home from school which means I have their company for the day.

We don't have any big plans for the weekend, other than one of my favorite flea markets is on this Sunday, and I am going to attempt to sneak in the Ballard Market on my way home (which is completely NOT on my way home - not even slightly...).

I also hope to spend some time in Mabel, as she is coming along nicely and I have a few more things I want to finish up in her. And speaking of Mabel, this little treasure arrived in the mail yesterday~

Thanks to Jules at the Diversion Project, (she saw it and remembered how much this girl loves an good airstream) I discovered Leah Giberson - an incredible artist to gives life to her amazing mid-century paintings. *love* them! They make me want to run out and buy a tiny 1950s bungalow (no, it is probably not a bungalow, but I don't know what one calls these darling little homes). Couldn't you just move right in???

I highly suggest you visit her etsy shop as there are a number of really fabulous pieces - the colors are so vibrant, and they have such a sense of realism!

Wishing you a deliciously marvelous weekend, whatever you happen to be up to~

bisous mes amies,
