Kitchen, life, and other things.

It’s been busy here to say the least. Between ripping out the old counters, then putting the kitchen back together (still have the back splash to do), family visits, and school… plus all the other things that go on in the course of a day, I have been busy. Luckily, things should be slowing down again back to a more normal pace, especially once we get the back splash put in and the kitchen is truly done. I can’t wait for that, I miss things like my toaster (all the plugs are out), rice cooker, and especially my slow cooker!

Oui, oui!

Somewhere within all the craziness I was able to put up a fun wall decal. The photo shows the view from the kitchen. It’s a lot more fun to look up from preparing meals and see the Eiffel Tower than to see a blank white wall. Easy little changes can make a big difference, can’t they? It’s a fun change, and the good news is if we get tired of it we can easily peel it off.

Also, we saw Avatar. In 3D. Amazingly cool, and of course now I want my entire garden to look like the world of Pandora.

Ooh la la!

Hallways seem to be the ugly step-sister in the house fairy tale. At least, that is how it seems in our home. While we don’t really have much by way of a hall, I have tried to make what we do have a bit more fun. Luckily we got a wall decal from Graphique de France (for review on our product review site), so I wanted to share the outcome with you here! The photo is the view from our kitchen.

Oui, oui!

It’s a lot more fun to look up and see the Eiffel Tower than a boring white wall. And it was very quick and easy to put up too! A really fun and simple way to make a change, but without a big commitment too (they are removable, and reusable). Even though our walls aren’t flat and have orange peel texture on them, the decal still stuck really well.

Sure, it’s not the same as being in Paris and seeing the real Eiffel Tower, but it is fun!
