In my Kitchen

Hello everyone!

Thank you for all of the well wishes for my son's new independent life and for my own new journey.  Fortunately, he lives about 30 minutes away from us and comes by at least twice a week on the way back from school at night.  He has some night classes and what do you think he wants after class?  Food!  So, I guess that will keep him coming by on a regular basis.  LOL!

  I've decided to set up his room as a guest room for him in case he ever wants or needs to spend the night here.  I'm keeping it in the same color scheme and masculine style since he is about my only guest these days.  We don't have out of town family that would use it. However, I'm most excited about all the new storage I'm gaining in his empty closet!  I'll show you what I'll be doing with that soon.

In my kitchen, I decided to remove the lamp (again) that was on the counter and try something else there instead.

Remember the large wooden pedestal that I used in the dining room?  I decided to use it as a base for my petite vintage scale.  

I like the warmth of the wood against the shiny granite and the white porcelain of the scale.

It also helps elevate the scale and give it more presence in the room.  We all want more presence in the room, don't we?  LOL!

Well, since it's Friday, and my husband is off work today, we are going to go see the movie, Jurassic World.  I remember being pregnant with my first child (the one that just moved out) when I saw the very first movie, Jurassic Park back in the summer of 1993!  

Have a great weekend!
