You know how we always hear people talking about what used to be. Well hell, I think I have turned into one of those people! And now with this blog...I am bearing all my secrets!
Anyway, I was imagining my new kitchen and how lovely it's going to be and I thought back to the first dishes I chose. It was the 70's...(the late 70's mind you) and as a young bride I chose Mikasa's Strawberry Festival. Oh, how I loved those dishes. I planned a country kitchen to go right along with the dishes. I sold them all in a yard sale less than 10 years later.
Change happens to all of us--Thank goodness! I think back to what I thought was great looking in design and decorating and wow have I changed from those days. My new kitchen is a grown up girl kitchen and I really can't wait to see how it all turns out. It is a simple palette with clean lines and a calm look. It's going to be cream colored--walls, cabinets, counter top and back splash. Remember, I am working with a space that's 14 feet long and about 8'8" wide. And if anyone had told me I would be building a cream kitchen when I grew up I would have told them they were crazy!
I guess I am on the third or fourth set of dishes since the 70's Today I enjoy the Old Britain Castles by Johnson Brothers. I love them too...but am seriously wondering if I need to look for something different to go in my new kitchen! Change is good isn't it?
