Inspiring Eat-In Kitchens

FREE IMAGES Supposedly eat-in kitchens are back, though I never knew they left. I have just never had a kitchen large enough for a table other than a small barista table. I really like the idea of an eat-in kitchen to get the family together and away from the TV though.  Seems like it would be cozier than eating in the dining room!

I love one side being a booth or a bench - a great option for squirmy kids.

Brighten up your Monday - some uplifting, cheerful rooms

FREE IMAGES It's hard to feel cheerful with all that's going on in the country and the world, so you may have to make an extra effort to be grateful for the gifts in our lives, I'm hoping these rooms put a smile on your face and remind you of the most important part of any home: family.

The colors here are so gorgeous.

I really like this one...

or a Saarien style table

Which one is your favorite?
