Our family made a move to a new home on the other side of the same little town just last Friday. One of the main reasons why I picked this home was because of the French privincial-style kitchen that is equipped with lots of cook space, modern appliances and cabinets for all my dishware and gadgets. It’s a gorgeous kitchen! However, it was up to me to put a personal touch that communicated how I wanted this space in the house to be used. I knew that I wanted our kitchen to be a place where friends and family could gather together. Food is wonderful, but eating together as a family is one of the many things that make a house a home. It builds memories. It creates traditions. We laugh. We share. We nourish. We teach each other. I want our children to want to be there with us cooking and creating so I knew I need to add a whimsy touch as well.
So what would any girl do? I went shopping!

I found this graphic that seemed to list my sentiments about what a kitchen should be. If I could make it better, I would add "nourish," "health" and "nutrition." But hey, it got most everything!
