Criminy! Just ignore this post. I was on the kitchen forum but had this page open, too. I am so sorry! Can I blame it on the paint fumes I've been smelling for months? lol!

Diana

I just saw this on the kitchen forum and left you a message over there.

Everything looks really great to me, Diana. I like the look of the paneled drawers very much, even though the other drawers aren't the same.

Oh my gosh Diana ~ You should be posting this here also. I have been wondering about your kitchen especially since you got your new stove last year. I LOVE your kitchen cabinets and I can't wait to see the open shelves on the bead board walls. I think you just inspired me to get up and wash dishes. I am the dishwasher. The only thing about washing them in the dark is that I can't see out into the secret garden.

I don't see why we can't post pictures of our cottage/and or cottage garden inspired homes here in the gallery or in the conversations side. I am thankful you made a mistake and posted your pictures here.

FlowerLady

I just posted on your other thread too, lol. I'll link it here.

I really wish I'd thought of that drawer idea! I bet a lot of people are going to copy that in the future! Good for you!!!

I agree with FlowerLady, I want to see more, if you hadn't posted here I would have missed out on seeing your beautiful kitchen. More pictures please.

Annette

I am glad you shared it. I would die for a kitchen like that....magazine perfect!!!

Looks great to me! I love the look of the raised panels . . .
(but I'm also pretty comfortable with dust).

Patti

Very cottage indeed! Terrific job!

Edna

Thanks for ooop-sing on this! I needed something to drool over. hehehe Your kitchen is looking fab Diana!!

Tracy

Diana, I was admiring the dish washer drawer fronts and then was suprised to read your comment about not liking them. I really love them.I think the fronts add even more charm to your kitchen. I can't wait to see more. I read the k forum too. Are you DIY? or DH I should say? Awesome kitchen.Sue

Diana, glad you posted here; I wouldn't have seen it in the kitchen forum...I love everything about it! Looks just perfect to me. I have a new Bosch DW and still can't get used to loading it!

I have been wondering how you like the new range.

Ah, you guys are so sweet. : ) Thanks for all the nice compliments on my ooops! post (too funny, Tracy). I've had so much going on lately I sometimes think if a bird had my brain it'd surely fly backward.

Sue, yes, we're almost totally DIY. I'm right in there alongside DH with the power tools - love them!

gldno, I LOVE my Wolf! Do I need all that power every day? no. Do I care? NO!

I'll link to more pics of our progress so far. Just click on the Kitchen link near the top of the page. We're nearing the end - whoo hoo! : )

Oh, Diana, the website is beautiful! What a wonderful labor of love.

The kitchen is simply gorgeous and I am loving the red handles on the Wolf. What a great touch!

The cabinets and island turned out beautifully. Hats off to the team of Diana and Mark!

Your gardens, and the view, are just sublime.

Will you adopt me? :-) LOL

Hugs,
Marilyn

Diana, it's a STUNNING kitchen. LOOK AT THAT STOVE, lol. Everything is so clean and elegant looking, but comfortable too...like home!

GGG

Thanks, Marilyn and GGG! I finally got around to getting that site published. I can be so lazy when it comes to organizing pics and getting them posted.

The stove is a little messy from chili and corn bread makings yesterday. But it was worth it. : )

Marilyn, just bring the Vitamin "C" and you're in! lol!
