Sensational Sunday Love Links!

If you've been following for awhile-you probably remember that we started the HUGE project of remodeling our kitchen this past summer.



 I say huge, for two reasons.  #1-we are working with a very 'limited' budget.  Limited, meaning-very, very, small.  #2-we live in a 100+yr old home.  Which means-anything that CAN go wrong, WILL go wrong.  That is exactly what happened when we began the process of tearing down the drop down ceiling.

Needless to say-we opened a MAJOR can of worms, and everything had to be put on hold, until hubby could come up with a budget friendly solution.

Thankfully, hubby did just that-and our plans for the kitchen can finally be put into motion.


Today I'm taking a look back at all the inspiration I found months ago-and putting my focus on four 'key' elements that I LOVE (and hopefully get) in our kitchen!!!

Here they are....



1. Open shelving.  Although we have plenty of cabinets for storage-I definitely want to incorporate open shelving to not only display some of my treasures, but also to get that unique 'farmhouse' look that I adore!

2. A Functional island.  Our current island is fine and serves it's purpose- but I would really like something a bit larger and more 'rustic.'

3. Lighting.  Although any light fixture would be an improvement over the florescent eye sore that is in our kitchen now-  I'm really loving these gorgeous pendent lights!!!

4. Back splash. Since our cabinets our white (and our counter tops will be as well)-I'm looking to add a splash of color in the back splash.  I'm head over heels in love with this green....

But this neutral palette is equally beautiful!
