Elle decor mag - kitchen 1

Spent tonight decluttering an embarrassingly untidy dining area which doubles as my entryway.  Thus I removed dozens of items that don't belong there….but seemed a great place to dump bags at the time. ("the time" being every night for the past month!).

Then with the temps outside being 83 with high humidity requiring my cleaning uniform to be a cami and shorts, I attacked the floors in the kitchen, dining and living areas – sweeping and vacuuming with such vigor that I had to sit down for a moment after admiring the clean living areas.

I began to catch up on my blog reading (subscribing to 200 subscriptions in Google Reader doesn't seem like such a wise idea now…I always feel behind in my reading)…..and this is the first post I saw on  Ellmania.  I liked every picture so much it almost hurt my head! (how crazy is that?!) 

My favorite thing in kitchens is mixing rustic with modern…and the baskets in this kitchen made my heart stop.  Well, almost.   And the jars lined up?  So great.  Just sayin'.
