I just spent the last week redoing much of my kitchen. I should have taken before pictures but I forgot. Above the bar used to be an over head cabinet we took out. It wrapped around to where the open shelving now is. It opened up the kitchen so much and made it much lighter. Plus I love having open shelving to display some dishes etc. I am excited to decorate this a little at Christmas.
This is the other side of the kitchen. The yellow counter top went up the wall as well for a back splash. We added bead board, cause you can't ever have enough bead board in your home. We also replaced all the knob, pulls and hinges.
We still have a bit of work to do. You can see above the open shelves that the wall needs painted. I would actually like to put bead board up around the whole kitchen dinning area but I have to take it a little at a time. After that I have a new color to go above the bead board. Until then I am loving my new kitchen.
This is Ella in her new coat. It is made from an Oliver and S pattern. I used a pre-quilted fabric on the outside and a minky soft fabric on the inside. The inside is made out of the stuff that Ella loves on her special blanket. Needles to say she loves the coat... can you tell.
I off set the buttons...love how it turned out.
This is a jumper I made her today. The best part for me is that I drafted the pattern myself. It looks so cute on her. I just couldn't get a good shot, she is to fast for the camera.
This is the back. I plan on making a ruffley slip skirt to go under it since the back flies open when she is running by.
This is Ella on her first birthday. Seems like just yesterday
