kitchen

My kitchen....

It is a bit farm-country,

a bit rustic,

and a bit shabby....

but then again so is my entire house.

It doesn't fit into one category.

But I like it that way....

I don't fit into one category either!

As you can see by the use of them

through out the entire kitchen,

I am a bit obsessed with scales.

I adore my concrete counter tops.

I don't think I will ever tire of them.

(and I tire of things pretty quickly sometimes)

I love the rustic feel of it all,

and then a crystal chandelier thrown in.

The contrast is great.

there ya have it!

It's tiny, but it's practical.

(especially since I never only occasionally cook)

shells...

I get a little short of breath

when I see the following:

graphics

shells

organization

anything old

and my hubby...

What does all of this have to do with the pictures today?

You are asking yourself....

Well...

In our little

"Library"

as I so pompously like to call it...

{It is actually a little room that I

don't know what else to do with

that is in our up stairs

separating the office and the

master bedroom}....

{{The door you see is to the

office/storage/attic/craft area/place mom refers to when she is yelling,

"Hurry up and hid the crap! Our company is almost here!"}}

You get the idea...

Any who,

I was able to combine all those things

that make me catch my breath in this room.

I used OLD, printer's drawers

that once held letters used to make GRAPHICS,

to ORGANIZE my never ending,

always expanding SHELL collection.

I think it makes an absolutely lovely

display for those smaller shells that may

not command their own cloche

or spot on the coffee table,

but are still magnificent on a smaller scale.

Still you may ask,

"What about the HUBBY part?"

"Where does he fit in to all of this?"

Well, he is the one that hung them for me,

and I got to watch him do it....

Did I mention he is

eye candy?

Well, if not, he is!

Here's to the things that take your breath away!

I was featured!

I was features on completely coastal!

 Thanks Maya, for thinking

enough of my centerpiece

 to feature me!
