Day 10


Here's more of the (unpainted, Lauren!) kitchen - the window wall, with some close-up details. Seriously, it needs major work. And it's the one place I would *really* put some money if I had it, cuz I know an outdated (read: gross) kitchen can really cost me final value dollars. That's the corner of the fridge, photo left...like the oven on the opposite wall, it blocks the base cabinet, and there's a big empty space photo left of the cabinets/counter (where u see the mop).

Those things hanging on the wall, are my color inspirations - they've been hanging there for at least ten years, ha, they don't call me Swifty for nothing!


Apple green walls, black and white toile window valances, white base cabinets with open shelving on the wall, black soapstone countertops and some red accessories. That was the vision. Ain't happening now.


This is my whopping huge straight-sided ironstone pitcher collection. I used to have more, but some were curvy pitchers and I decided to narrow the theme. Of course, these are harder to find.


My favorite kitchen accessory is my bunny butter dish. I got the original almost 20 years ago...about 10 years ago the bunny part fell on the floor and broke...I went through three other butter dishes over the next few years, never really happy with any of them, while I searched for my same bunny one - finally found one on ebay (yay), and have been butter-dish-happy ever since.

Day 7


My sister gave me and my ex-husband this darling copper mailbox for our first wedding anniversary, back in 1990. I've moved it from house to house, and think it will probably be my only mailbox ever. The door fell off long ago. The post finial is off something in my last house, I just screwed it - well, my NEIGHBOR screwed it - into the top of the post, when he saw me struggling with the power screwdriver. The hedges could use some serious trimming.
