Today I want to share my Dining Room and Kitchen. Like I said last week, I had plantation shutters installed on all the windows. They make my heart go pitter patter. hee,hee,hee
The four paintings hanging there are originals by Jennifer Lanne. My dear friends Mary Kay and Marianne in New Bern did the framing for me. They own a wonderful framing shop there.
This was the original light fixture that came with the house. Everyone in our neighborhood has the same light fixture. So, since I'm taking my house from "Builder Grade" to "HomeMayd," I had David install the light you see in the photo above. It came from Ballard Designs. I love the simple forged iron look and the check chain cover.
After having white cabinets for 14 years, I decided to go with ebony cabinets this time. They aren't pure black, but more like espresso beans.
We added our own knobs to the cabinets. I found these on Wayfair.
Of course, my kitchen wouldn't be finished without my Harrington and Hannah hand-painted soap dispenser, which was created for me by my talented friend, Natasha. I treasure this piece so much.
This is Bob and Larry, the buffet bunnies. hee,hee,hee. They enjoy serving up some tasty vegetables to our guests. I found them at Pottery Barn last year when I was out shopping with Lydia.
Like many of us I don't have a house phone anymore, but I couldn't resist buying this old phone I found on Ebay. I think it's fun in the kitchen and reminds me of days gone by.
I love the way the light comes in this space. What do you think?
Light, love and hugs to you,
Michelle

One of those pictures is hung a tad crooked .... not telling which one.
26471 .. that was our phone number with one of those phones as a little kid. We had a parakeet. Every time the phone rang he would sing out - 26471! 26471!! (My big sister would sing out - "It's for me, I'll get it."
Love it dear girl - and I'm really coveting that phone!!!
I love your soap dispenser and the little buffet bunnies. They are really precious.
Hey- where are the bunnies????

You have created such simple elegant beauty in those rooms! The light fitting in the dining room is lovely. I do hope that that beautiful space will be used daily :)
I've always been partial to dark kitchen cabinets so love your choice with the perfect handles to finish it
That soap dispenser is beautiful and definitely should be cherished. What a great tribute to those bunnies.

I am so happy to see you here! BRAVO! You are in, you are in YOUR new home! I love your breakfast nook (as I remember it being called by my mother), and the wainscotting is gorgeous. The ebony cabinets are fabulous, and that Harrington and Hannah-Banana soap dispenser is precious! How are you my friend? I am so happy to know you have your bunny nest all fluffed up.
