It's Been One Week...

... since I last blogged? Summer just gets a hold of me... and I have needy basil to tend to! Once again, it's Show Us Where You Live Friday!! Today is dining rooms, and some of you know that I have been struggling with mine! Keep the red or toss it with the old bananas? What to do... Nonetheless, I'll participate and claim "still in progress." Since I was late to the game, I'll include the kitchen too (getting a little wild here, woo hoo!) Head on over to Kelly's blog and check out all the other MAGNIFICENT dining rooms (ideas galore).....

Now to the kitchen... where we love to eat! And yes, I included a pantry photo, because it is one of the loves in my life... ranks right up there with Nutella, Cadbury Eggs, and fireworks. Also, my favorite piece of furniture is our naughty bench (for the tantrum timeouts). And oh my lands I just realized my black rain mat is still out in the kitchen! Got it for winter & spring rains, but I haven't taken it up yet... that's called keepin' it real right? Fancy isn't our game, fingerprints reign and crumbs rule!
