house tour, part deux

i can honestly say one of the main reasons i bought my home was because of the kitchen.  i loved the tile and countertops, and the built-in wine rack didn't hurt!  i chose a lovely smokey blue as an accent wall, and it is my favorite room in the entire house...  add some new black appliances, and voila, instant awesomeness!

the third one is a little dark, but as you can tell despite my {point and shoot} camera lighting, it's bare bones {and please note the ugly fixture}. no offense, but i need a well-lit dining space to enjoy my gourmet pizza quesadillas...  yeah, i'm that classy.

drew loathes the existence of this gathering table, but i myself thought it to be quite a steal and uber cute for this space.  needless to say i am glad that atrocious remote-control fan light thingy from the "before" picture found its way to the curb...

here it is again... had to get the print in there! can i just say how happy home goods makes me? i swear you can furnish an entire house in that store...
