Kitchen- The process continues

The Kitchen:

Pretty self explanatory

Master Howie tucked under the bench

He thinks we can't see him.

Gonna paint those stools some day...

been going to for..oh..about....

15 years

Now at the top of my list,

after the new shades for family room.

Bananas usually in the egg basket

Cookie jar empty - good thing

no temptation

Onions usually in smaller copper 

in front and garlic in crock.

No bananas, cookies, garlic, or onions...

Hey, I need to go to the market

Be Brave - a secret note here to a bloggie friend

At least I have apples.

Anyhoot, if you are planning on stopping by, either

bring food or give me a heads up, the cupboards,

and counters are bare.

Many of you have commented and emailed your

personal path of purging/ paring down, 

and inquired how to do it.

Since I do this often for many others, I can 

only say it is a process and some of you will need 

to go slowly or risk being overwhelmed, and some of you

will go crazy and tear it up and

 then put it all back together...

Do what works for you.

Design the way that makes you happy.

Use what YOU have, before acquiring the new.

 You may get inspiration from others,

but replicating it may not bring you satisfaction.

Deal in realities and follow your own heart.

My photos are straight out of the camera,

nothing is staged or moved ..

( except for the paper towel holder Tot lol)

A home should always be a process of evolution,
 never stagnant. 
Just as we grow and learn as we age,

so our homes should mature and 

change with us. It should reflect us  

at our current stage in life, 

not the life we were living 30 years ago, 

or even five years ago.

Sometimes just removing unnecessary stuff

 is all you need to do to have 

a brilliant new perspective and view.

My home gives me a sense of peace, 

of refuge, when I walk in the door.

Shouldn't yours?

It's a process. Begin.
