We plan to eat many a snack at the kitchen island -which may explain my joy at its existence.
This past week, the Lord of the Manor has spent many hours crafting the reclaimed slate counter tops. Here is a picture of the slate being installed on the antique general store counter which serves as the kitchen island:
Tommy thinks he is Vanna White.
The crowning glory of this island is the light fixture. I thought a juxtaposition of styles would be cool, so I picked out an industrial light fixture.
The new addition to the kitchen was christened immediately with colored chalk -which makes total sense when you remember that for many years, teachers and school children expressed themselves on it in the very same way.
It's a chalk-artist's free-for-all until the tops are sealed. Seeing that the next day was Easter Sunday, bunnies and Easter baskets were all the rage.
A few hours later, a sweet young lady decorated the island top in a different kind of fashion.
We really really love this beautiful and functional piece! But now that it is in place, we think it may need a little tiny zap of color.
What do you think?

Golden Castle or Amber Wheat get my vote. But you already knew that.
ReplyDeleteI think it needs color too. I already told you back in February. :)
ReplyDeleteeveryone agreed we needed a zap of something, so I painted it today. Instead of mustard yellow -it looks bright saffron! Colors are so TRICKY.
ReplyDeleteI will post a pic soon.
I think I will keep the color for now, if only to liven my day.
