I am really drawn to these types of kitchen. I am not sure what type of kitchen this is? Is this country or cottage? I really want something comfy, laid-back and home-y. I believe that your home is your sanctuary, so it should make you feel relaxed. I hope I can have our little kitchen and dining renovated, but we have bigger plans so we must settle with what we have right now. Plus the husband needs some office furniture for his little corner in the house. He really wants his corner to look more like a real office.

Because of this photo, I think I am now liking our dining room’s new paint color. I was actually thinking of having it repainted but I guess it will be cheaper and easier if I just change the curtains and add little stuff to make it look this bright and breezy. And I’ll be changing the curtains in the living room as well. My plain, cream-colored curtains don’t seem to work with our plain white walls. I heard SM is likewise having a Thanksgiving Sale and I plan to take advantage of that to get new stuff for the house, along with some batteries, rechargable lights and a few personal items.

I can’t remember where I got this one.

I want a solid-wood dining table like these. The chairs, I am thinking of just having two long benches on each side. I just want something plain and simple.
