LOVE the changes. They were very much needed.

I'm worried about that curtain by the gas stove.

I once complained to a friend that I was so poor that I couldn't eat healthy foods anymore, and she flat out laughed at me. Five years later, and some learning about what healthy food is, I now spend 1/8th of the cost on food as I did in the past and eat a very healthy and tasty diet. Fresh produce, dried beans, and brown rice are some of the cheapest things you can buy.
I feel only people who feel a sense of lack, and live in a state of fear would need to hoard processed foods, or to feel a sense of security about having enough and being fed.
The practicality of it is ridiculous.

I think distressed wall can work, but you need a sharper juxtapose with some "new". 1 out of 4 walls only, or pristine floors and modern windows. In New Orleans alot of the old and interesting walls are covered with a sealant so you can see the history, but are also able to wash it clean.

AT is the one place I visit faithfully every day and never lose the excitement to see what will be there next. Congrats on all you have created here!

My favorite house tour of all time! Hands down.
I love every inch of it.

I thought I was a home cure rockstar, but looking at my cumbersome bookcase is kicking my ass. This will be my hardest challenge yet.

It started with the inspiring photo challenge. I decided to go through all my inspirational magazines I already had, tear out the pictures I wanted and recycle the rest. 7 hours later and I have two pieces of furniture for sale on craigslist, and two rooms in my house are completely re-arranged and cleaned top to bottom. I'm a bit tired, but more than happy to re-gift the stuff I pulled from the corners yesterday. I'm so excited about where this 20/20 will end.

I think the gray can also really work well with the shiny appliances you already have, plus a metal dish rack, and a retro fan to switch out for the one you have now. Shining up the hardware already suggested would bring it together even more.
I love your kitchen!
