Age is relative don’t you think? Am I saying that because I’m older? I’m sure I never uttered that phrase when I was 23, 37, and definitely not 16.

I admit I love my new kitchen. I’ve waited more than 20 years for this overhaul. It’s stylish and beautiful and wonderfully distinctive.

Those counters perfectly compliment the gorgeous copper sink, Tuscan-style wall and backsplash tile, new window, lighting and my... Continue Reading →
