House Beautiful's "Kitchen of the Month"
A friend of mine has just purchased a wonderful new home that will need a total kitchen rehab! So this past weekend we spent time looking over the plans and possibilities. As I went through the scenario of choosing the elements of her new kitchen she increasingly became overwhelmed. While I find the process exciting, I needed to remind myself that to the average homeowner it is a daunting task.
So today I thought I would share the reason our kitchens are so important to who we are and the lifestyle we are looking to create and live. Where do your family and friend congregate when entertaining? Why the Kitchen of course! The labor of love goes into cooking and entertaining, there is something very empowering in putting out food and drink for those who are guests in our homes. It has a timeless appeal as we are connected to those in our families who are now gone, but had once shared their homes, meals and love with us. Our kitchens can never be big enough, people always want to be in there. They need to be created with love, food, family and friends in mind! After all this is the "Heart of our Home" and the "Hub of our life". Give it the planning and patience it deserves!
