The next square I’m covering on my bingo board is the kitchen. I’ve been spending a lot of time organizing our kitchen. I decided to tackle organizing our house room by room starting with the kitchen. Last night I tackled the area under the sink. I found cleaning supplies we’ve had for over 5 years! Ridiculous. I managed to get rid of a lot of stuff we don’t use like an espresso machine we inherited from Micah’s parents, a hand mixer (we have a counter one) and a small food processor. Oh, the space! I also realized we are in desperate need of new dish towels and could use a few more OXO Pop containers to sort out our pantry which is tonight’s task.
This is an older picture of our kitchen but not much has changed since I first posted it.
I love this kitchen. Yes, I wish it was a little bigger but for the most part, it’s perfect. We wanted it to be bright but we wanted to stick with a design and colors we’d love in 40 years. We decided on red because my Kitchen Aid mixer is red and so are all our Le Cruset pots. I know, a silly reason to have picked red but the pots and mixer were an investment that we aren’t going to replace anytime soon (or ever).
The one thing I think our kitchen lacks is personality. I think it’s nice but I do think it could use a few things to warm it up a bit. My first pick is of a kitchen that to me feels completely lived in. I love all the personal accessories and furniture. The space is modern and clean but really warm and personal.

My second pick is something crazy and over the top. Love the legos in the kitchen. I don’t know that I could ever do it, but it’s so awesome. How could you not want it?
It’s only day three and I’m already behind! I might have to do a double post tomorrow to catch up!

Ooh, I LOVE your kitchen!! The red accents would definitely make me smile every time I entered the room!
I love your kitchen and I'm totally jealous of that amazing island and the gorgeous vent hood!
I too LOVE your kitchen! Especially your counters :)
I also love the Lego island, I have it saved on pinterest, it might be a fin thing to do with a table in a kids room... you know when they are old enough to not eat the legos off the table.
Wow, your kitchen is amazing! I totally thought it was an inspiration picture from a magazine before I read your post. Luckily for you, the "lived-in" accessories are the fun part. Those touches come naturally as you grow more and more comfortable in your home and make memories. :)
