I love the kitchen ernyoka1! It is a lot like my kitchen in many ways....and I think your description was a good one. It is some old, some new, some borrowed.....some blue! :) Gertrude sitting at the table reminds me of someone I know.....just can't think of who it is right now. Oh! It just occured to me! She looks a bit like Bette Davis at that angle! Please don't give up on the kitchen. It is already on my list and you haven't even posted it! :) There should maybe be a towel bar for terry cloth towels, some pot holders as someone mentioned, a toaster, bread box and some wall hangings....flowers, roosters, cows, pigs....a wall clock, light over the sink?? Girl...you could go crazy listening to us! I think it looks great now...you can always do an add-on pack for more items later....including an "ultra-modern" version!:)
