kitchen decorating

I have finally put my kitchen somewhat back together since we repainted it in March. I am trying to use my bakers rack for extra storage, not just junk or pretties. I wanted my coffee pot over there, but it opens from the top and wouldn't fit on the shelf. So, john had this idea to put the thing on a drawer slide. Now, I just pull it out to add the coffee and water and i have a whole little coffee station. I am really liking it. The yellow bowl holds my filters and the coffee is in the canister. I still want to repaint the whole bakers rack. But, haven't decided how yet. And, I am undecided on the curtain thing. i made it out of a thrift store table cloth. it looks kinda stupid. I bought the drawer shelves in Round Top and the new drawer pulls at Anthropology. Yes, the pulls were more than the drawers. ha! Sara took the lovely pictures of our girls cooking when she was here in june. i got the idea to display them this way from a magazine. Can you belive i did that all by myself? The guy at Lowes cut the boards for me..... Ok, and john hung them. oh, and Sara took the pictures. ok, so i just put them on the board. ha! i was still impressed with myself.

Just as a side note.... i am totally addicted to the thrift stores! i have been going almost every week and finding all sorts of tresures. Several Christmas gifts are coming from there. maris picked out her own sit n spin for $3. That will be under the tree. ha! And, i found a cute vanity bench for Macie that i am going to re paint and fix up for Christmas. More stuff that i won't reveal at this time. hee hee. ok, bye!
