our new dc home: the kitchen

 i have lots of photos of our new place to share.

i'll start with the kitchen.

i attached before and after photos to give you a little idea 

of what i did. i knew the kitchen had a lot of potential 

so i was most excited to start with it when we moved in.

i used black chalk board paint behind the counters 

to tie in the black counter tops and make the ugly florescent lights 

under the cabinets less noticeable.

and i painted the walls a bright exotic red 

to go along with our red kitchen appliances. 

we love our old retro oven/stove!

and the white shutter doors open to an old retro washer/dryer!

i think my favorite thing about the kitchen is this polaroid 

we put up on the cabinet from new york. 

my second favorite thing are these two old license plates 

i found in utah while antiquing.

i searched and searched for a new york plate,

but florida and utah are appropriate 

since they are where husband and i are originally from.

and that, folks... is our new kitchen.
