Heart of the Home Kitchen Party

Welcome to the Heart of The Home party hosted by Note Songs
Jump on over to tour all the featured kitchens.

The kitchen is the heart of most homes and I am pleased to share some additional images of my kitchen with you.  Normally my kitchen appears several times each week as the backdrop for tablescapes, but this time I'm sharing some of the details that make up that backdrop.  Each element in my kitchen has its own story, a mix of vintage and new that is constantly evolving.

Read about building the house/kitchen in 2006 in the following post:
The Evolution of My Kitchen
Lots of info and details on the kitchen are included in the comment section of the Evolution post.


Some of the basics:

15 ½ foot ceilings
3 colors of paint on the walls
solid pine flooring
Alder cabinets
the faux stone mantel is cast concrete

Most of my dishes are stored in the pantry hall that backs up to the wall on the left
You can read about some of my storage solutions at the following link:

And my favorite element in my kitchen is the year round California sunshine.  The influence
of this natural light changes the mood and colors in the kitchen throughout each day.































Thank you for coming to see my kitchen! Please feel free to ask me questions about the kitchen in the comments section, I love to talk dishes and tablescapes and my favorite room in my house.
