Here is a view of my kitchen. The walls are sage green. These cabinets were a very ugly dark stain until about two years ago when Tim striped them down and refinished them. There was also a soffit above the cabinets for the first ten years we lived here...it was also ugly. It was a major job to tear this out, but the result is great. I did not really want to use this area above for putting things, but since I needed the space I had to. As you can see I love old crocks, jars, wire, enamelware, antique utensils, and anything of olde. Can you see the MaryJaneFarm magnets on the front of the frig? There are six of them all with farm themes.
