The kitchen.

ooooh, the kitchen. the mom's domain. the homemaker's retreat. the woman's room, right? if there's one room in the house that i, the mom/wife/woman should have complete say over, it's the kitchen, agreed? so how do i convince leroy of that? i say 'light and clean', he says, 'dark and earthy'. i say 'canvas colored cabinetry with a darker island' he says, 'NO WHITE'. (it's not white, it's CANVAS). i say 'bluish grayish walls' he says 'almond-y tan'. while part of me is impressed that he can describe a color as almond, the rest of me is really annoyed that i have to fight so hard to have the kitchen of my dreams! speaking of which...


isn't it beautiful?!

yes, this is a lot bigger than my kitchen will be, and in place of that awesome hood, i'll have a window, and i'll have to have more than 2 barstools thereby eliminating the cool doors in the island, but it's something to go off of. i love the frosted glass in some cabinet doors, how the island is a different color, how good the stainless steel looks in it, the straight lines... ahhh. this is the kitchen in which i'll start cooking healthy meals, where i'll have fresh baked cookies waiting for Teah when she comes home from school, the kitchen i'll ALWAYS keep clean... well, a girl can dream. time will soon tell if i have any negotiating skill, and the proof will be my kitchen.
