Humble
Last week, I ranted on about people with these enormous and very elaborate kitchens. People who use them for a display of their wealth and nothing more. I don't think it really bothers Honey that these beautiful facilities aren't used, he just doesn't get it....Neither do I.
Our home is far from any of the ones he works in. It's average in size and tucked in a wooded area on a back road. However, it's ours, it's comfortable and it's welcoming.....And truly, ANYONE is welcome in our home. We (well, Honey) as remodeled more than half the house already and has done ALL of the work himself.....Yes, including the kitchen. It's a modest little room but I love it and spend most of my time there. There has been a ridiculous amount of food cooked in it, including canning and freezing. Many conversations at the kitchen table, ones that would make you laugh and cry. The kids homework and projects are done there, clothes are folded and many happy meals take place in this little room.
Some of you have asked to see my kitchen. So here is what my Honey did for our family..... (click on the imagines to see them larger)

You have a fantastic kitchen! My hubby has done the same thing as yours and has remodeled quite a bit of our home including the kitchen, and it too is my favorite spot in the house.
ooooo la la!!
You are so lucky. It really is beautiful.
And, thanks for 'fessing up!! heehee :)
It's gorgeous!! Very welcoming!!!
Your kitchen is beautiful! Looks like a lot of love there.
I love your cabinets! Nice tile too (my hubby is a tile-man). Your husband did a great job! I consider myself blessed to have a hubby who is very good at remodeling projects--it saves so much $$$!
lovely kitchen!! Is that a stove above the two drawers? I love that!
Nice. Looks like ours... well not really! lol
I love your kitchen. It's beautiful. Just what a kitchen should be. Welcoming and inviting. (and plenty of cabinet space!)
I just stopped by from Suz place... glad I did. :p
droooooool with a capitol "D"... me with my plain old, boring "contractor on a budget" kitchen.
wow! u are very lucky to have honey that is talented in that dept- i'm lucky mine if mine can figure out how to change a lightbulb...really.
very nice- love the style and colors. :)
Wow, what a beautiful kitchen. My hubby is like yours, and is a very handy-man, who can do pretty much anything he sets his mind to. He loves to build. That being said, our house is in dire need of a repaint, and some repairs, but I am still waiting !!!! Take care, Meow
I love your kitchen! So pretty :-)

You kitchen looks great! I really believe that the kitchen is the heart of a home. You should be proud of this one :)
PLEASE, people. That kitchen is NOTHING compared to what she DOES in it. Man oh MAN, this woman can cook!! And the most fun in my life is always had at her kitchen table. It may be a pretty kitchen, but she is the one that makes that home a beautiful place to be.
Absolutely. Without. A. Doubt.

Tell him to come do mine!
OK! That's it!
I'm moving in!!
Hey, you said anyone was welcome!
I love it!!
i think the kitchen alone should be about 1/2 of the entire apartment that im staying now
lol..
It's beautiful! Almost too pretty to work in.
Wow ! I love it. Especially the tile work under the cubboards. I love the look. It looks very welcoming. Now you have to go in there and cook us all some awesome food.
I have only one word: WOW.
I love, love, love your kitchen :-)
I'm into checking out kitchens right now...beautiful cabinets! They look like Toasted Almond glaze...?
I think your kitchen looks great! And woah, look at that...you have a t.v. by the table!! Nice.....
Also, I love the pic of the kid in the tub. Nice catching of the water in motion, and cutie-pie kid too!!
