Thank you so much for the pictures! They are amazing and we had such a wonderful time with you. You are beyond talented and we are all so happy with the pictures!!!
Thanks so much!
The McNichols and Ingersolls :)
oh, the plans to renovate and bump out and make my tiny kitchen a bit grander were not in our immediate future….so i couldn’t stand not doing something. as i mentioned years ago, i really wanted open shelving. i tried taking the doors off the cabinets and leaving it be. but when i did, they looked like cabinets without the doors. not what i was going for. i also needed a new refrigerator as the one that conveyed with the home was on its last legs.
then i met steve. an amazing woodworker. the kind of guy you give a picture to and he greets you with a “no problem”. after our first meeting, he came back 2 days later with a sample of what the shelf might look like. his work was maticulous. i highly recommend his professionalism and most of all his beautiful craftmanship (if you want his number, shoot me an email!).
then i met with lee ann, my extremely gifted neighbor (one day i am going to photograph her amazing home and her exquisite taste and post here!) anyway, she recommended that because the open shelving was so modern, that my lighting fixtures and refrigerator should keep with the era of the home (circa 1949). after much research, i went with the big chill refrigerator from russell&mackenna. and the lighting, well, lee ann’s “extras” from around her home. thank you. thank you.
now i would still love new countertops and maybe a new sink….and a big bay window to overlook the gardens in the back. but then again, that would be a renovation, right?
here is a sample shot of my kitchen before (granted this was my kitchen the day i was cleaning out the cabinets)….

September 4, 2010 - 12:15 amThe Queen Vee - It looks fabulous, I LOVE the refridgerator and beautiful new open shelving.
I still need to decorate our house but my ideas are all over the map. Is your neighbor a decorator? I'm looking for one that will just do a few hours of consulting which is all I can afford.

i met jennifer and jimmy when jennifer was given a gift certificate for a maternity session for her baby shower. her family thought it would be nice to document her in front of the camera versus behind it. you see, jennifer is a photographer. you can view her beautiful work here.
i was a little nervous as i had never photographed someone else in my field but she was so easy going as was her husband. i enjoyed spending time with them and am so truly excited for what is about to change their world.
