What I love about my home!

I am participating in Karla's Cottage "What I love about my Home" Party. So please pop on over to her blog to grab more links to look at lots more inspiring homes.

Today, I am loving my kitchen.

It's big and we can spread out. My 3 boys LOVE food and I spend a lot of time in here. You may laugh at the locks on the fridge and pantry, but seriously you have NO IDEA what my kids will eat (especially when they are bored!!). And they will grab ice blocks at 8am if I am not watching haha.

I have lots of storage and can put all their school bags in the cupboards. I also love the neutral colours. I would not change this at all. This space is busy enough!

I also love that to the left is a door, which is to my garage, so I can walk straight in with groceries. Plus I just love my polished floorboards and their colours. It doesn't show every spec of dirt.

That's it! Sorry about the dark and glarey photos, but I took them at a silly time of day and don't have time to take them again. Also, Natasha thinks I must not be messy, but to prove that I can be I left dishes on the sink!!!

Please don't forget to enter into my giveaway . Have a great day!

Love your kitchen! So large and airy and what fabulous counter space! And that island with a sink - too cool! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful kitchen!

And I'm afraid I'm with Natasha :) Your home is immaculate :) I only have 2 boys and my home isn't half as perfect as yours :)

Just hopping from house to house thanks to Karla - the wonder of technology:)

I just have to say what a gorgeous kitchen. I am particularly interested in them at the moment as mine is in a state of disrepair LOL.

Thanks for sharing.

How serene and peaceful (and clean and uncluttered!) Having boys myself, I know how that can be, and your kitchen is amazing!

Natasha Burns said...

You're so funny! You think that there is some mess in your photos???? LOL I had to look and see where these dishes were! I struggled to find them and even so, they look like they are drying so it's not mess at all! Love how big and organised it is!

Your kitchen is gorgeous and I love the colors! SO much counter space and like I said your choice of colors is just stunning.

Oh, my, I'm an trying not to be envious. :) My kitchen is the main area of my home I'm not satisfied with. Our former house had the driveway coming right up to the kitchen door -- so convenient for bringing groceries in! My mom used to have to lock out refrigerator when ym brother was around, LOL! I thought she was the only mom who ever did that.

This is just lovely! Thanks for having us in!

Love your kitchen. My is so small. Maybe someone should host what I hate about my house. It would be my kitchen. Is it always that neat and clean?

Hi Katrina - thanks for the message that you left on my blog - I've just looked through yours and can see that you too have a true appreciation of all housey things being painted white...what lovely pictures!

And what a gorgeous kitchen!!!

I've also fallen in love with your cupboard of organised tuppaware!

Hi Katrina,
Love your kitchen. It's great!
We need a new kitchen...ours is a horrible green colour with awful blotchy green benchtops. Yuck! Hopefully we can update it soon!!
