Today I’ll be hanging out with my sister. Not in real land, just in blog land. I am doing a guest post over at Nesting Place to share my kitchen island makeover. We have lived in our new old house for over nine months now and I’ve yet to show you the final product of the painted kitchen cabinets. Come back here tomorrow and I’ll tell you why. Until then, fly on over and say hi to The Nester! And while you’re there, remember…

Well, I’ve been wondering why you haven’t posted about the cabinets. Is it a matter of national security or do we get to see more pics tomorrow? You have to give those us who are visual girls more to work with. You KNOW we love your pics. Have a great day!
I will be rushing over to nester’s to read the post. I can’t wait to see it!
Great post over there! I was wonering if you were going to paint your cabinets black like you did in your old house (um hi…I promise I’m not a stalker). I have to say, the cabinets looked great before they were painted but my jaw dropped when I saw the “after”. Your kitchen looks absolutely beautiful! I love reading your blog by the way. You’re a very good writer…in my humble opinion.
Oh yes, and you need to highlight those awesome new window mistreatments.
I enjoyed your post over on nester’s blog. I *heart* you and your sister. You guys are awesome.
WENT VISITING TO NESTER. LOVE THE KITCHEN!!! LOVE BOTH OF YOU.

I’m on my way!
Great guest post over at the Nesting Place. I enjoyed reading it and seeing the transformation in your kitchen. What a difference a little bit of paint and a new countertop made! Good work, and thanks for sharing.
Perfect – sisterly love, support and great kitchens! xo
BTW, you are so organized Em, but come look at the books I’ve kept up for years for my kids – easy and CHEAP!
What I saw looked beautiful! I wish I had enough room for an island. I’m looking forward to your pics!
Yay, I can’t wait to see what you’ve done!
Popped over and had a look at your kitchen – really lovely! Can you tell me where the “doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful” picture came from? My Word of the Year is Imperfect, and I love this!

Hi Emily! Your kitchen makeover turned out terrific! I love it! See, you are not only a talented writer and photographer, but a talented decorator too! Love it, and I love your style! With love from Colorado, Denise
Loved the redo- might just have to paint my metal cabinets black!
Just came over from your sister’s. Your island is fantastic!
Great post today! I’m so glad I came over to your blog, it’s wonderful. I now have both you and your sister on my blog roll. I look forward to reading future posts. Great job on the kitchen.
