We are in the midst of a mini kitchen DIY reno. Hubby finally caved and agreed to let me paint our wood cabinets and I created a french country rustic feel for them using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

I received some wonderful advice at Hometalk to NOT cut back the hydrangea. I followed the advice and I did NOT and it is HUGE and bursting with blooms this year. THANK YOU HOMETALKERS!!! ...»

Found it interesting that the flowers under the window didn't grow up past it, but the ones to the right did...! (Worked out well because my husband was concerned they would block the view from the bedroom! Also notice the hand-made adirondack chairs my dad made for us!
