A - you're a door able

Good morning everyone :)

I'm trying to figure out where I'm going ultimately with this kitchen of mine ..................

There are so many styles in it that I think it's in a state of mass confusion at the moment ..............

I have the clean crisp look of black and white - which definitely trends on the modern side


The window we're installing is French Cottage


I kept the little original window which is vintage


The metal shelving on either side of the stove is definitely industrial


and now I've gone and thrown in country - real country lol


Somebody stop her....................

I don't know whether to cook Cheateaubriand for deux - or grits


I'm not sure when or how it started - but I'm becoming addicted to doors
and I have to break the habit..............

But for now it's tucked into a corner - where I'll look at it for awhile before making any final decisions on it


Can we call it eclectic?
I like that word - whoever first coined it for decor dilemmas was a genius !!!

See that sign peaking out?
Here's a close up - the time is on a square of blackboard paint - so Margaritaville can happen at any time at all ( as long as I can find the chalk )



Here's an eclectic menu lol


Have a good one all - that's the last of the doors for now ( I have 2 for the Spring to put outside and than I swear to you I'm finished with them )

If you have a fetish for doors you can see 2 others HERE and HERE :)

See you all tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you're only a day away
( I'll be waiting by the K-K-K-Kitchen door :)

oops - forgot the before


ASCP - Paris Grey mixed with Old White - half and half - dry brushed
and Old White for trim :)


Feel like coming to a party?
I'll be at these !!!

I WANNA live there Wednesday # 66

Good morning everyone !!!

I decided to see what was cooking in our old neighborhood this week -

OMG - John and I used to walk along this street and I was always awestruck by the architectural beauty of these particular buildings - and wondered what they looked like inside.

THIS IS SPECTACULAR !!!!!!!!!
MONTREAL ARCHITECTURE AT ITS FINEST................

I SOOOOOO WANNA LIVE THERE

1,359,000  ( an absolute steal for this neighborhood )
Built in 1902
REALTOR LIZA KAUFMAN















It just keeps getting better and better - I'm going into serious home shock now


AGGGHHHH - I can't take much more, seriously








Check the basement out - it looks like an apartment


I even love the basement window :)



Suzan says - I think you'd better buy some lottery tickets this week
John says - Why, you feeling lucky?
Suzan says - I'm feeling crazed with want
Suzan says - I've seen a house that's screaming my name
John says - Don't start with the houses again - please don't start with the houses again...............

Oh but I can't express how badly I WANNA live there


You all have a wonderful Wednesday everyone - I have to figure out how to come up with a million dollars very very quickly

Much love,


Sharing at the following parties !
