Your posts are always calming to me, but isn't it funny how different we all are? I love your home, but could not be at home in it. I have to have color, especially blue! You may feel the same way as I when you see a home that is attractive and comfortable, but just not you. I rejoice in our differences. How tiresome it would be if we were all the same. I am slowly making my new house a home and loving every minute. It was definitely the right choice for me to be brave and make the move. I think family and friends are beginning to see my joy returning.

I love this, Donna. You’re so right, our homes must be a reflection of ourselves and speak to our souls. Blue is such a classic color for home interiors. I’m so happy to hear that you’re settling into your-new-to-you house and that joy is following your bravery in finding and making this home. 💙

I love how you slow roll through the different parts that form this serene, efficient space…giving us the opportunity to linger on each aspect of the symphony you call your kitchen. Bravo.

Enjoy your day,

Birnie

Beautiful, truly beautiful. Could you tell me the type of oil you use to season your castiron with? Thank you for the peek into your home.....and soul. 🩷

Thank you, Laura. I just use extra virgin olive oil, or bacon grease if there’s any from that day’s cooking.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful, lived-in kitchen, Carmella. And for showing what's real, like your sad plant. :) It's a good reminder that some of my houseplants could use a haircut!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful space. In spite of the fact that my kitchen is a blend of cozy minimalism with splashes of color that fills me with joy, I love your warm cozy kitchen that fills you with contentment and joy! This is truly what it is all about; what personally brings us joy!
