Oh Vee, I think your kitchen is lovely. I love how big your window is. It also looks like it has a really nice view! Our house is in a subdivision that was farmland just a few years ago--so not many trees at all, and the ones we do have are babies..

Now, see, looks can be deceiving. There are some nice evergreen trees out there, though. Will you be planting trees this spring or fall?

Vee your Kitchen is so bright...check out mine..now it does seem to look a bit better than RL. But it is not this nice.. I also had to take a picture of my ugly ugly ugly "30 year, never will wear out so I can get a new one floor" the tiles are the walls are also ugly..but for the time being, they are staying. Some day, I want to open the wall behind the stove area and have it opened to the other room and have a island installed, the floor leveled with the living room as it is about 3" higher then all the other rooms it surrounds. So much to do and such an old house..so that just adds to the costs and delaying in doing it.

Skootz, you have a charming farm kitchen...I cropped out my floor...didn't want you to see how awful it is! LOL I see we have similar calendars...what does yours feature? (Mine has a tea and roses theme...big surprise!) Maybe you could hide some of your floor with an area carpet. I hide mine with a braided rug. Love your roll-top desk! And you seem to have lots of room, too. You've definitely got possibilities, Hon. I love old houses!

Lots of possibilities...just not the funds (We are getting an above ground pool this year..so kitchen will be done in say...10 or so years from now lol) Oh, and my and my calendar in there is from the local co-op, they just are nice country seasons for the month.

Skootz I love how bright and big your kitchen is. Our eating area is rather small. I also like the cute blonde! She adds a lot to the room!!

to me the clock almost seems a bit too small for the area... I like the clock you had above the fridge..how does that look above the micro

Yup..that is the one I was thinking about the one from the Feb. 1st posting..I like the 2 clocks..the darker one is nice in the kitchen and the other one looks like it ties in with your table runner

I think the clock is darling, but it's too small for right there.

Do you have any small blue ceramic plates? you could try making a grouping and seeing if that works. It might detract from the clock though. My kitchen is white cabinets and maroon walls, in my space above my cabinets, I have pewter pieces...bowls, platters, baskets ect. You might try doing something like that with various blue items to draw the blue up.

Skootz! It's so great to see the place you call home! Now I can imagine you sitting at the kitchen table when we chat on the phone.... Bad news, your floor will NEVER wear out!! LOL! Those older floors were made so well. It's not ugly though, I've seen MUCH worse. When we moved into this house there was orange and black kitchen carpeting, that was made to look like vinyl squares... It was about 27 years old. And it smelled terrible. Also carpet in the bathroom over a particle board floor that was rotting from all the "pee pee" over the years.... I had to chisel it up little by little and it would kind of "splash" into my face... ICK!

I thought I had some pics, I checked and didn't. I will try to find my digital (it is lost in the black hole of hell that we call my son's room) and take some.

Thanks Tex! I do get the idea, even tho the color looks much more green than burgundy! I like that pewter/silver look... Looks like a bright and light kitchen.

LOL Texannie, know what you mean about 60's formica. It won't die. Mine was the white background with the little blue and gold flecks in them. It was hideous. Finally....when ex wanted a new boat, I got new formica! LOL
