our beautiful kitchen!

it is about time i show you all around our new home!  today, let's start with my favorite room in any home - the kitchen.

this kitchen, although very fun & lofty, is a bit of a challenge.  first & most apparent, open cabinets.  although they always look pretty in magazines, it is quite the predicament on how to make your stuff look magazine-worthy at all times.

second & my greatest conundrum, there is almost no storage.  before we got here & had all of the boxes in one area, i had never seen all of my kitchen stuff + all of our wonderful wedding gifts in one place.  we.have.a.lot.of.kitchen.stuff.  a lot.  this is where we started:

i.was.terrified.

you are going to have to wait until tomorrow to see the big storage idea.  

it is part of wedding wednesday!  how, you ask.  wait & see!

i'll give you a hint:

third, where on earth was i going to prepare food?  well, my wonderful & amazing husband had a fab.u.lous idea.  a commercial kitchen work table!  i love this thing.  & it has storage for all of my baking supplies!  & it has self-leveling legs for the sailboat tile!  everything about it is perfect.

so, my friends, i admit it: i love this kitchen.  (shhhh...don't tell blake.  i'll get one of those big "i told you so"s.)  when life gives you lemons today, make lemonade.

i even get to display ALL of my cake plates!!

have a fabulous tuesday!

love love,
