MizSusn's Profile

Did you hear me gasp at your view? I think all the papers on my desk moved a few inches closer when I did.

Thank you thank you thank you for profiling someone other than a 30ish hipster -- Mary is 10x cooler than any of them and their curated space, this is a real, lived-in place inhabited by someone with a unique vision and a confidence that only comes with age. Brava!

Love the couple, the corgis and the lemon/gin & tonic poster! Very nice!

I esp. love the bedroom transformation!!!

Finally, someone with more cookbooks than I have! Lovely kitchen, the orange makes it cozy and warm.

My Kitchenaid mixer. Finally got one from the boss for Christmas after coveting one for 30 years. I've burned out the motors on handmixers and got a cheapie stand mixer years ago and burnt out the motor on that as well. I like to make tons of cookies during the holidays and the doughs tend to be a little stiff so a powerful mixer is a welcome addition to my kitchen.

After that would be a great, all-purpose knife, not worth skimping on those either. No real need for a whole set other than it looks nice on the counter.

Last would be good cookware, like All-Clad. Again, no need for a whole set, just a good fry/saute pan and a good saucepan or two, with lids. My mom has a Revere set she got for her wedding over 50 years ago and it's still in use, even the knobs on the lids are intact!

Love it! Elegant, inviting and you don't even notice there's no window(s).

WOW!!!!!!!

Your kitchen is a giant version of mine! Down to Le Creuset, the KitchenAid mixer, the defatted peanut butter in your cabinet, the jumbled plastic storage containers, the Trader Joe's items, etc.! And I, too, would love love love a dishwasher and all too often leave the dishes in the sink. Charming!

I'm envious of the spacious dining room and kitchen and of the master bedroom with the lovely fireplace! Also love your pup.
