Kitchen Renewal

Well, some of you know that while I was living in Kentucky, my CA roommate (who I am now able to live with again) had the unfortunate experience of having the condo that she owns get mildly flooded. The flood actually originated a few condos down and my roommate's condo had the least damage, but still not a fun process. Her main areas that were affected were the downstairs bathroom and the downstairs flooring on the half that shares a wall with the most affected condo.

In an attempt to help her while I am still job searching, I offered to take down wall paper to help with the process since I have the time on my hands right now. I decided to tackle it this week, and below are a few pics of what the kitchen now looks like. Later on when the downstairs bathroom is redone and new flooring gets selected, I will post pictures of the progress of that as well.

I like cooking anyway, but cooking in our transformed kitchen will be extra fun! The inspiration was a Kim Parker picture that my roommate really likes (which hangs in the dining room--I actually had one of these in my dining room in Kentucky as well, which is kind of fun). Kim Parker actually designed a line of dishes for Spode as well, and I got some of these to use as wall decorations to tie in some of the colors. It turned out really cute!
