Hi. It looks great! You`ve got a new very nice kitchen. My cats love boxes too,and paper,lots of paper to hide in ;-}
Ooh i love that dresser..and adore IKEA. We had one of their kitchens to install...haha! i've still got a box full of 'bits' left over...but we don't live there anymore!
this looks so beautiful raina! i love the white on white and the display of vessels!
by the way, the word verification I just had to fill out to leave the last comment was.. "whoreable!" hahaha...
That looks great, Raina! I'm a big sucker for Ikea. :) Last time we were in Calgary, I dragged my husband there and after we walked through the showroom he said, "oh! That wasn't bad at all!"
...Needless to say, when we got into the actual warehouse part of the store he was ready to go. Hahaha.
The cabinet looks really great, though. Love it. :D
LOVELY! Wow. Seriously!
Empty boxes, it's a cat thing,eh?
Doesn't that look lovely? I have never been to Ikea but would love to get a few bits there!
Wow - that was a daunting task! It makes a super cute dresser - but where's the picture of the pile of unused nuts and screws....I know you must have some - LOL
Your new kitchen accents are lovely, Raina! What would we do without Ikea?! ;o) And everyone's happy...even the cat--LOL! Love the dresser and island/chair, I adore farm house style too. Enjoy your "new" kitchen! Happy Day ((HUGS))
Lovely kitchen, cute kitty!
lol! i totally hear ya about putting IKEA things together! i love what you chose though. it looks great! thanks for showing us!
:D
I've only put together a few things from IKEA but they've all gone together like a dream.
My cat does the box thing too! x
wonderful moments, and, you know, my cat as well LOVES boxes, it loves definetly loves them!!!!!!!!!
I went crazy at Ikea a couple of years ago and bought a wardrobe, desks, chairs, bookcases.... you name it, I bought it.
Then I hired my brother in law for the day to assemble it all....
oooh! it looks so nice. i need to get a new dining table and chairs. now you've got me thinking i need that storage dresser thingy too (except i have no room in my tiny, tiny house)!
It is interesting about IKEA, I always forget, anytime I buy something there , that I actually have to put it together BY MYSELF!
Here everybody shops in IKEA, it is definitely the nicest cheapest. As a consequence, you come to someone's house and you just know what they have from there.
Your kitchen corner looks lovely, very country or rural or something like that. In fact, I am quite curious about your 1979 cupboards, I have been against big kitchen renovations lately, here it is such a fashion now, people build up huge kitchens as if they were supposed to change their life or something.
Love your new kitchen area and also love Ikea but the instructions can be quite 'challenging' sometimes!
that definitely all equals real kitchen poetry! i love that storage cabinet...swoon.
Beautiful. It looks so nice.
FYI-I posted how to process those images for you.
Now that looks worth getting a case of Ikea thumb for!
what a lovely project!
Lovely dresser! Is that it, pre-assembly, on the floor in the first photo?
My cat loves boxes too, and paper bags,and drawers left open, and suitcases, and small, dark hiding places of all kinds!
I love your kitchen, it's so sweet.
Love your kitchen, just lovely! and I learnt a new word - for me dresser was a person who made dresses... never a cupboard :))
Love your new kitchen, but I always have a moment of utter disappear before starting assembling any Ikea item!
ah. i just bought some ikea beds for my kids - i'll be wrangling that allen key tomorrow... :)
xx
God bless Ikea! :)
The table and cabinet look great!!
Great series of Kitchen Poetry.
Looks like you made a good job of your dresser.
hey I like your 1979 kitchen! and I too have a kitty that loves boxes:)
This cabinet is absolutely beautiful! So simple, clean, and holds a lot of stuff. Everything you could ask for :)
My kitty likes paper bags.
i love the farmhouse style! and putting together ikea furniture is so much fun!
So cute! I love it! I absolutely love that cabinet.
Ah, the kitty. Poetry with a purr. Your photography is exquisite.
