our island paradise

well, paradise isn't the right word, but having a kitchen island is nice! we've been thinking about getting one since we moved in. the previous owner had one, and it seemed really handy. 



i was out shopping with my mom and sis at homegood (love that store!!) and just walked up on it! it was perfect!! so we brought it back to my house and set it in there. it took a day or so to get used to having something in the middle of the room, but we like it alot now!

and the best part is, it matches EVERYTHING perfectly!the top and our cherry cabinets are a perfect match:



and the cream/white color of the rest of it matches the doors and trim! (and the current fridge & countertops, although those aren't permanent, we are patiently waiting till we can replace them!!)


so the lesson for me here is, be patient! i tried several times to talk brandt into getting an island that i know wouldn't have matched well just b/c i wanted one. and then i stumbled upon this one, and it looks like it was made for our house!

oooh and a hurricane is coming! exciting? scary? both? i'll let you know in a few days, but honestly, i'm leaning more towards exciting :) of course, this would happen the summer we buy a house!!
