it's not a lost&found kinda day...

only because we are working on our kitchen

floor today. the prep part of it.

okay, well, mostly jonathan.

but i'm helping. 

so i know thursdays are normally

days that i show off my lost & found

pieces but i haven't had much time 

this week to do that. so, 

here are some photos to show you

what stage we are at with

the kitchen floor transformation:

ugly. yes. but it has to get ugly

before it can become beautiful. 

oh, and it smells. the glue used 

to lay the cheap laminate down

was at least 30 years old. at least.

and there were three, i repeat, three

layers of laminate that had to be 

ripped up. my husband is the best.

{to see where the kitchen started go here}

so because i need to be inspired

with beauty after looking at my kitchen

i thought i would share some of my

finds with you. 

photos via me&alice

a breath of fresh air. sigh.

on a more personal note, these last few

months have been so fun for me.

it has been so freeing to dream and create.

sometimes i am not quite sure what my taste

is because i love everything beautiful, and

want to paint & use everything i come across. 

i love the all white, romantic look, i love

the bright, funky look. i love the eclectic look 

and i love the clean, sophisticated look.

ah! see?! everything. 

but i am so glad you on this creative journey 

with me. i have felt so encouraged in these

last few months by all of the responses

and messages sent my way. 

thank you.

we are working on laying the tile tomorrow!

photos to come. and, hopefully i will

get a chance to post a new free find.

have a great evening friends.
