Heart of The Home

I am joining in on this fun Party at http://notesongs.blogspot.com/ I have enjoyed looking around at some of the gorgeous kitchens that you all have! Thanks for hosting it Sheila!

Here are a few pictures of our little Kitchen. :-)

I love our kitchen, but the only thing i hate about it is the lack of bench space! I use the table a lot of times for bench space too! That works well, and we also have a little Island Bench at the end of the kitchen to help out with space, too. I love the little personal touches, that make a house a home. I enjoy cooking very much so, and love to try out new recipes and things. :-)

We do a lot of things in our kitchen/dining room. They are both in one room, so we use the kitchen table for a lot of things other than eating. I also use the kitchen table to make crafts on, and write letters, sometimes even fold washing on! Haha ;-) But all in all, its nice to have a kitchen, as some people dont i guess! We take a lot for granted.... some peoples kitchens is just a dirt floor, with a fire in the ground.... So its nice to be thankful for what we have! And i am thankful for a cosy little kitchen. A place that i can cook for my family and friends. A place to hold conversations in, and watch my little baby boy crawl around in while i am cooking. :-)

Here is the Dining area within the kitchen area.

The hutch was given to us by my mother in law. :-)

A favorite tea pot set, and a little table center piece i created on a silver tray. :-) I recently found some cute teaspoons whilst in Sydney, that i bought. They are silver, and have a cute little rose design on the ends. I love candles, too! Especially scented ones... Hehe The tea set was given to me as a wedding present from a dear old friend of mine.

I love my tea and coffee canisters which i got a target once. :-)

I really like jars, and glass containers too!

My kitchen is also a place to remember, and think of those people that mean the most to me. :-) I have pictures of loved ones, and friends on a photo board i made. And also on my fridge. :-)

I hope you enjoyed our little kitchen tour! :-) I am off to look at some of your beautiful kitchens now! :-)
