Kitchen Tour

What a busy day today was!  I cleaned out my refrigerator and freezer today.  With that came a through cleaning of the kitchen as well!  So, since my kitchen is all sparkling clean,  I've decided  to join the Heart of the Home Party and show you my kitchen again.  I have featured it once before here on my blog and wasn't really going to do it again but  since I have made some changes since that post, why not?  It's time for an updated peek!

When you enter in my kitchen from either the basement, hallway, den, or office, you are in a small foyer area that we have put up a coat rack and I recently added this table for mail and junk.

Looking into the kitchen from that foyer area this is what you see.

To the left is a built in desk I converted to a bar, yeah, I still need to paint that last chair black too!

Let's move closer into the kitchen now.

What's that there?  No, not the cute checked pumpkin I found at Target after seeing it in all my bloggy friends homes, look again.

That's right, I'm talking about those yummy chocolate chip cookies!  I baked them just for you, because I knew you 'd want some while you enjoyed the rest of the tour.

Other then my very large island, I really have limited  counter space in my kitchen.

This area in between my refrigerator and oven leads to the dining room.  It also is where my pantry is located behind the oven.

For those of you that follow regularly can you tell I've been decluttering some.

This is command central here!

Let move over towards the kitchen table now.

I am so thankful for this built china cabinet.  I had one in my old house too but it was in the dining room.  This is why I have only recently wanted to buy one for my dining room.  Now I have two china cabinets.  Woohoo!

I bought this little side table a few years ago from Ross.  Love that store!

Well there you have it!   But wait, for those of you who may have wondered whats behind the double doors, I'll give you a sneak peek if you promise to overlook the mess.

Yep, that's my laundry room, smack dab in the middle of my kitchen.  It is not totally a closet laundry room but set back somewhat inside.  It's just enough for me to pile up loads of laundry on the floor inside, which is why your getting a very limited peek.  LOL!

I hope you enjoyed your tour of the heart of our home.  Be sure and visit Sheila at Note Songs for more tours of other beautiful kitchens full of inspiration.

Thanks for visiting today!
