The warmth of a fire can do great things...

I love this shot. The right amount of chairs for our family and is indicative of the weather here today. We actually lit the fire as well, so I am sitting right beside it while I write this post. The warmth of the fire is amazing and while we were all cocooned inside I changed our kitchen mantel and my $5.00 sideboard displays around, which I will show you next week. I also made a start on the slip cover for the other sofa.
I have also been baking (as it is right next to the fire!!) and will be doing a big Easter Sunday dinner with Mics family which will be really nice. This had me looking through my files at other kitchens and these two are just beautiful...

especially this one. I would love a pot rack for somewhere in our kitchen and found the perfect one recently...I just hope it is there when I go back =0), it doesn't have to go above our center island, just somewhere would be nice. This just reminds me of a French farmhouse.
I also want to wish you all a safe and happy Easter with your families -don't eat too much!
