I love love love this!
Kudos to a job well done, great foresight and great colors...but I'm 100% in the camp that sides with no dark counter tops with your look. We have dark blue-slate Corian countertops and although they are beautiful, they show scratches really easily (and the most random objects scratch them), dull easily, and generally darken our kitchen.
And speaking of Corian...my MIL just redid her kitchen and replaced her kitchen counters and stainless sink with an all-in-one piece that includes the sink! It is seamless and beautiful. Just a thought if you are planning on replacing the counters and sink!

I've been at home with two kids long enough to know that as a paused career woman you NEED these creative outlets. if you're into design, of COURSE you're going to do something like this to save your sanity! and here you are all excited that AT picked it up only to have it picked apart. i've seen some over the top birthday parties, and this certainly isn't one of them. in fact, it's quite sweet.

that being said...a lot of the posts i see on design sites these days seem to be parodies of themselves. so there's that.
and then there is the hilarious tumblr f*** your noguchi coffee table. helps lighten things up a bit.

i made this tonight and it is a keeper! i used sausage instead of chicken and considered skipping the topping but am so happy i didn't. the topping takes it to another level entirely. also, i used skim milk instead of whole and it's not at all watery or weird. i can't wait to switch up the cheeses and fillings...i'm obsessed with radicchio, speck, and smoked mozzarella together. next time!

I finally scored the leafed table on ebay for a song. No chairs, but I'm waiting to find the full seats. That ikea version...you want it to be amazing but it is so teeny tiny and chintzy that it just makes you long for the real deal.

Please don't touch the cabinetry! The floor, new countertops, sure. Paint, window treatments, and some embellishments and you are golden!
