The best bits, continued…

Steve likes a clear countertop and I've gotten to the point that I like it too. We had a space for the toaster oven built in to keep it off ov the counter.

The backsplash is 3×6 subway tile with an accent strip of 1/2" tiles. They aren't all white, and they aren't all glazed which makes these little tiles more interesting in a subtle way.

There was enough granite for the window sill which is really nice! I moved some of my favorite paperweights to this window. Why didn't I think of that before!

There are two false drawers under the sink that pull open to reveal a tray. Great place for the cleaning brush.

The granite is really interesting to look at. There are bits of color every now and then – burgundy, orange, gold…

That said, granite is unforgiving. There has been a little bit of breakage. (Honestly, I never liked that sugar bowl very much anyway.)

You might be wondering about the baptism… Bear is such a cheerful baby! He rolls with whatever is going on. After his third baptismal dip he decided that he had had enough and he cried for about 10 seconds. Once he was back with his mom, he was smiling again.

Love the remodel. You probably already commented on your Coffee Cup wall hanging … where can I find info on it? Congrats to Bear also.

I made that quilt in a Ruth McDowell workshop. I drew the cup and saucer from a photo Id taken in a museum cafe in Melbourne. This is one of my favorite quilts!

I thought that must be the Ruth McDowell technique! It looks great.
I also agree with Steve about clear countertops. I’m not one of those people who find chaos inspiring. My dream is to have a place for everything, but I may still have to wait a while for that one!

Thanks. I should have known that was a Ruth McDowell …. love her work. I too hate cluttered counter tops. I had electric put in my pantry for our coffee pot … love it.
