showing my colors ....

one of my absolute favorite blogs

is life in grace ...

edie has an incredible story.

after a devastating fire & losing everything,

she & her family built

their dream house.

talk about beauty from ashes...

{you can read her story here .}

 

one of my favorite things about
her new home is her kitchen.
she has tons of open shelves
& they are packed with
lots of color ...

life in grace

life in grace

 

aren't they beautiful?!?!

 

after seeing those open shelves i was

ready to rip down some

of my kitchen cabinet doors!!!!

i have tons of fiestaware that i love

& i've always hated it hiding behind those doors.

so, one day while my mr. was at work

i got busy.

 

i removed 2 cabinet doors & started gathering

all of my most favorite dishes, bowls, cake stands,

& anything else i felt didn't

deserve to be hiding behind doors ....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i love being able to see all these happy colors

when i go into my kitchen!

& i love that some of my favorite pieces

get to be out on display ...

they've become part of the décor

& not just utilitarian.
