One Thing I Know About My New Kitchen…

Melissa Beene Ford/ Uncategorized

I’m gonna be honest… about the ONLY thing I ever remotely miss about the old Blue House is the kitchen.

That’s because I designed it.

After years of tearing out magazine pictures, I knew I wanted a vintage-style kitchen with white subway tiles, a farmhouse sink, and a pale aqua ceiling. I drew out how I wanted it, and got the kitchen of my dreams.

It was beautiful and perfect.

I don’t miss anything about life in that house, that chapter is closed and I’m not looking back, but I still love the design of my old kitchen.

I can’t WAIT to get moved into our new house. The kitchen is new, with brand-spankin’-new Ikea cabinets. Not what I would have chosen, but it’s all new and clean and I’m so incredibly thankful.

But this antique milk glass light fixture from the old Blue House? It’s been carefully stored since we remodeled that kitchen in 2006, and it’s coming with me.

    I would love to see your new kitchen. I am a fan of the Ikea cabinets, but have never used them. I would love to see how they hold up. I have a feeling they are better than we think.
