"New" Light



I picked up this sweet light from the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store....it fits the kitchen pretty well! Still on the hunt for some other lights!

A few kitchen additions...


We finally found some knobs we like for the kitchen so I installed those this morning. Here's a closeup too. It really brings the white from the tile backsplash and the stainless appliances all together.
When we were in Traverse City last weekend we found this cool cross at an antique store. It fits perfect above our sink and the green glass goes well. We really need a light up there though. I'm thinking something low profile and 1920's style.
