KITCHEN

Notice the "bundt cake" on the stove. It's actually a very large candle, and it was very entertaining to watch people try to figure out if it was real or not.

This window is above her kitchen sink and looks out onto the back porch which houses the laundry equipment, the dog kennels, and storage.

This is where my sis spends the bulk of her time. There is not a day that goes by without some kind of yummy smell coming from her kitchen. This summer, between her and I, we canned over 400 jars of fruits, veggies, jams, soups, sauces, pickles, etc.

When the kitchen was repainted this year, my nephews and niece joked that mom was painting her "condiment" kitchen. They were referring to the mustard yellow and ketchup red. BUT, it actually looks very nice. The black and red really stands out and blends so nicely with her decor.

She has the cutest garlands. One has wooden spoons throughout it, one has little tiny measuring cups and spoons throughout. The dutch wooden shoes are a symbol of our heritage.
