Sounds fine to me.

Schoolhouse- That's adorable!

Oh boo I'll be working, so I just wanted to say happy valentines day! It is one of my fav days , that reminds me how lucky we are to love and be loved.

Lilyfinch- That's a very nice way of summing up Valentine's Day!

Stop by after work...and bring your tea or hot chocolate. I think this is one day, where chocolate is VERY appropriate :)

I'm having a non-tea afternoon too! Just now fixing lunch, so it will be my supper also.

The kitchen remodel is getting under way, and I'm already stressing out. The guys asked me to move everything out of the kitchen by tomorrow so they can bring in materials. I have tables and standing cupboards in there, but I got them out, slid them down the hallway and deposited them in the bedroom and some in the livingroom. Oh, and I had to remove and wrap alot cups/saucers and dishes first just to make sure there were no mishaps. The only pieces I will need them to help me move out are the big cherry cupboard in the pantry and the fridge.

What dirty, dust bunny messes I found behind them! I couldn't stand for the guys to see that, so I swept and swept. Because of the cost of the beadboard for the wall and ceiling plus the labor, the cabinets are going to be put on hold until this summer - hopefully - so I can get some more money saved up. Wish me luck for the next week - that's what they promised, they'd be done in a week.

Happy Valentine's Tea Day to all or for those who can not partake today - Happy Valentine's Day anyway!

Another sunny but chilly day here but can't complain, have a nice toasty fire going in the fireplace :). A cup of orange pekoe and a raisin scone are beckoning to me.

Schoolhouse I feel for you, remodelling puts everything at sixes and sevens, but think what a joy it's going to be when it's all done, we want pictures.

LL, so what are you sipping and nibbling on this afternoon?

Annette

Schoolhouse- I'm so happy for you! How exciting to be working on your new kitchen :)

Annette- Today, I was going to make something chocolate, but I decided on cinnamon muffins, instead. They're so tasty...and perfect with Earl Grey tea!

Earl Grey sounds fantastic about now, but it's nearly 8pm, too late to drink tea or I'll be up all night. As it is, I probably won't sleep thinking of beadboard, beadboard.....
I do have some brownies in the cupboard though! in a cupboard sitting somewhere.

Lass - I've decided I can't afford a designer kitchen nor would this old house look right with one, so it'll only be the basics for right now. New wall and ceiling covering and light fixtures at least. An improvement for sure.

Schoolhouse- I think you're making the right decision! If I ever get my farmhouse remodel underway, there are so many things that wouldn't look right...no matter how popular they might be on the kitchen forum! LOL

A comfortable, inviting, pretty and functional kitchen is what I think of, when I think country or cottage. Much like the gardens, it should reflect what you love and what works in your space :)
