Country Living meets Cottage Charm!

Welcome to my "Serenity".

I need to take a class on how to use my camera indoors

(Hint Hint Viv)

Imagine VERY VERY light granite countertops

with a beige background and hints of black specs.

Notice the handmade tablecloth my Dad brought back from Polland last summer?

 It fits perfectly in my NEW, OLD soul of a kitchen!

I actually loaded my  Mom up with half of my decorations

because it just didn't fit and I wanted a less is more approach.

We have plans for pushing the fridge back into the wall and a bit in our

daughters room and will build her a ledge to decorate.

(this house was not built for a modern day fridge).

My apron was meant to hang here!

The shelf in my hallway was unpainted, untreated wood.

It now has a beautiful rice grain finish and acts as my linen closet. 

Before these baseboards were covered up by a horrible ivy board.  Luckily the original boards were still in great shape and we added the quarter round to seal the deal!

When I hung the last picture I wanted to say "How Divine"

The ceiling is one of my favorite parts.

Cash even approves!

I think you can see how we went from Country Living to Cottage Charm!
