Our Home: The Kitchen

My favorite blogger, Kelly is doing a fun feature called Show Us Where You Live Friday.

This week is "Kitchens". So I though I'd share mine and join the fun!

This is what you see when you walk into the front door of our condo through the entryways and to the kitchen. Our granite is greenish/grey/black.




If you know me at all, you know I love turquoise so I have my Le Creuset Tea Pot on the stove for color. Also in the background you can see our espresso machine. An awesome wedding shower gift from my granny.




This is my favorite part of the Kitchen. The wine part! I installed the wine rack myself and those are our sweet Crate&Barrel Wine Glasses. We also collect corks in that jar and when the jar fills, I make a medium-sized corkboard and give it to a friend. Good wine memories should be shared!




Here is the island where the sink is. I love having an island in a kitchen. It makes space so much more efficient!




To the right of the island is the pantry that I had installed. I love this pantry, and yes I always keep it this clean.




Here is our dining table which is adjacent to the kitchen. We have an extender for this table to make it seat 8 for dinner parties. It's an espresso table from Crate & Barrel (The "Madison Table" I think).




Judah was in the kitchen with me helping me take pictures and I managed to capture him with this totally possessed face! Love it!



I try to keep the kitchen uncluttered as possible by clearing out junk that can pile up and keeping non-every-day-use appliances in cabinets (like the blender and mixer). Everything that is out on a counter in the kitchen I use at least 2x a week.

I love seeing people's homes! If you linked you blog over at Kelly's, leave me a comment to let me know and I'll check it out!
