The Mamas & The Papas & their kitchen....

It's been far too long since I've written!  I've been busy with work and trips to see family & kiddo out of school.  What can I say?  Life gets busy...but luckily, it's busy with all good, yummy, happy, designy, delicious things!

My parents have been saving for this kitchen renovation for many many years.  They've worked their buns off, put all 4 of their kids through college, just finished paying off their 30 year mortgage (I can't wait for that day!!) and FINALLY they get their new kitchen.  The last time this kitchen was done was when I was 10 years old....calculation = 26 years ago.
