reDiscovering Rockford: Saturday: Je ne sais quoi

Part of becoming a big girl will require me moving on out of my parents' house (as lovely as my parents are) and getting a place of my own.... as my winter-long house sitting job is about a month and a half from over, I find myself waffling back and forth about what I will do next for a living situation. Sometimes I think about getting an apartment (though where that would be is totally up in the air too with my job location, etc) and sometimes I even daydream about buying a house of my own.

I can't wait to have a place of my own, mostly because I would LOVE to decorate it. Today's post includes inspiration for my future kitchen. Yum!

I love the idea of having a couple of comfy chairs in the kitchen area if space allows. Kitchens should be a gathering place as well as functional.
