Dream Kitchen in the Making

For a while now I've known that I want a blue and yellow french country kitchen. I can picture the white cabinets with pops of yellow and blue here and there. When I refinished my kitchen table and chairs this summer I just knew that someday they would feel right at home amongst the yellows and blues in my kitchen. My current kitchen is quite small and has wallpaper that has hints of red in it. Therefore my kitchen now does not match my dream kitchen vision. Which I'm fine with, I'm more than happy to hoard blue and yellow items that will make their debut when future hubster and I move into our new house! :-) Here is a picture of a kitchen I ADORE...I want this kitchen!

Aren't those sunflowers to die for? So cute! I also have a slight obsession with toile , my current house doesn't have any...that will all change with my next house. Future Hubster...look out :-) This next kitchen is also SO PRETTY.

I love the chandiler, how fun is that?! I am also in LOVEEE with their curtains!!!

Here's one more, just for me to drool over :-) I think my favorite thing about this kitchen is the chair that is seated at the island. I also love the white "brick" tiles above the stove. I don't picture my kitchen with yellow cabinets but overall I love this kitchen too! Here are some of the things I have compiled for my blue and yellow kitchen!

I just love this, it's a little urn with a lid. Don't let the picture fool you, it's actually quite a good size...I think I would love to have some sunflowers in this! :-)

How fun is this bowl?! My mom, knowing I want a yellow and blue kitchen one day, got me a ton of kitchen accessories in these colors! I just love this bowl!

Here are a few of the cute towels my mom got me.

These even came with a cookie cutter! :-)

I got this adorable basket at Marshalls for only $9!

What could be more "French Country" than these plates? I got a set of four of them at $3 a peice....I'm going to go back to get four more to have a whole set... :-) I haven't decided if I am going to use these to eat off of though...I think they might be prettier hung up on the wall! I feel like I'm off to a good start and will hopefully have plenty of accessories to decorate my future kitchen with. On a completly different note...if you weren't convinced by my last post that Gracie is a complete brat then look at the pictures below...

I was attempting to get a cute picture of her...but she decided she didn't want anything to do with that. I thought the tounge sticking out was just a cute coincidence....

I am convinced that THIS was no coincidence, this was intentional...she is such a little stinker! :-) After working with 6 & 7 year olds all day, I come home to this! hehe It makes me smile though, I hope this brightened your day!

This week has been very stressful for me so far, and it's only TUESDAY!

The bible verse I am sharing today really helped me relax and remember that, at the end of the day....I am not in control. So if you're having "one of those days" just take a deep breath, remember that there is a greater plan in place and that everything will work out just the way that he has intended it to.
