A Blank Canvas

I am extremely excited because this Saturday I am going antique shopping for benches and other stuff for our kitchen. The kitchen is a BIG white blah right now. We are going to wait till next year to do the counter tops but we may go a head and lay down vinyl. Vinyl you say??? Well to lay tile like we wanted to do would mean we had to rip out everything including the cabinets... you see we do not have enough "kick" on the floor under the cabinets for the tile. So vinyl it is until we are ready for a huge overhaul!

Back to my ideas for the kitchen... it needs color desperately!

My walls are not red but they are more of a khaki color. We have a huge wall that is a blank canvas. We could put two benches just like this! I love the pillows and it would add more seating in the kitchen!

See ... extra seating! We are very lucky because my best friend needed a home for her huge farm house table so Betsy and I were happy to help her out. (Obviously this is not my kitchen. But I love the bench seating around the table)

I have been wanting new dishes for quite a while but just couldn't decide what I wanted... I love the idea of mixing old china with every day china. Plates are going on the list for our antique excursion!

I will post pictures if we find anything. So excited!!!

Happy Easter!
