The kitchen is now rocking a chalkboard wall, and a sweet towel hook. Plus the curtains I posted earlier. That’s all I did, unless you count making the washclothes and towel.

Replaced the chairs I’d picked up at a garage sale with an actual matching set. Snagged them at Waldo Antiques. I’ve decided that I love buying furniture used – each piece has a story and character. Plus, they cost about the same and are usually more sturdy. Not to mention no assembly required.

I love the built in bookshelf. It’s probably my favorite thing in the house. The table I got off Craigslist, the bamboo was inherited when Rachel moved to CT, and the print is an artist print from my friend Mike Sgier. He does good work. I loved the Street Scenes series this was a part of.

I adore the chalkboard wall! Does it look nice in person? I have always wanted to paint our house with chalkboard. I have thought about doing the lower part of the wall. My kids would love it!
