Laowai

My kitchen is so, so close to being done. The carpenter put all the knobs on my drawers and cupboards yesterday. The painting is mostly done and I’m just waiting for the electrician to finish a few small details. The floor needs to be sealed with a protective coating. So close I can hardly stand it.

I’m looking forward to getting in there to clean out the dust. And then I will have the best time filling the cupboards and doing things like hanging a pretty dishtowel on my new towel bar and putting a vase of flowers on my newly painted window sil. 

I’ve been looking for a fabric for my kitchen’s bench cushions. Something nice to go with my new kitchen colors. Here are the current contenders.

And here’s one more pretty fabric to look at. It’s from an apron that I bought at my favorite little antique store in Evanston. There’s just enough to make a pretty little pillow. I wish I had lots so I could use this for my cushions.

Stay tuned for some lovely kitchen photos.
