Show Us Your House Friday: The Kitchen

Kelly's doing this really cool home tour via the blogosphere! I am playing along for fun; if you want to, jump on over to Kelly's site for info. Now, not only do I admire Kelly for her amazing ministry through her blog, but I also admire her for her taste and talent at decorating! And I LOVE her cabinets and her kitchen!

Yep, today's room is the kitchen. Here are some pictures of our kitchen. Now, keep in mind when I bought this house five years ago, I was a young, single girl who cared very little about cooking and being in the kitchen. Since marrying, I've found a love for cooking and baking. But our kitchen. . . . well, it ain't a cook's kitchen. But I get by! It isn't big, there's not a lot of counter space (Tim would argue that's because I have clutter on the countertops. I say it's decor. He says clutter.), and it gets hotter than blue blazes in there when we're cooking.

But it's just fine! And it does the trick! So, here are some pictures of our kitchen. . .

Here's the view of the kitchen from our dining room. . .

A couple of my favorite things in our kitchen are
Our Cuisinart coffee maker! Neither Tim nor I were coffee drinkers when we married. But this bad boy makes the yummiest coffee, and we now drink it every morning! YUM!

My Kitchenaid mixer. I promise you I hear angels singing when I crank up this sucker! Whether it's cake batter or pimento cheese, a good mixing with the Kitchenaid, and all is well!

As you leave the kitchen, you'll see this above the doorway. . .

Tim often comes into the kitchen to see what's cooking - or what he can nibble on until dinner is ready - and always kisses me before he leaves the kitchen! It's the cook's orders, you know.

It might not be a cook's kitchen, but I get by, I get by. . . And I love it!
