BEFORE...
That hole on the floor has been bugging me for the last 3 years(it looks like a spec in the photo, but it is huge!) My kitchen is really small (I have had smaller) the floor is 9'x4.5' so I was able to get a new piece of flooring for $16.00... this is an apartment, so I'm not investing in it.
AFTER...
I haven't committed yet, it isn't glued in. The hole is out of sight and the stains are hidden. Last weekend I had painted. So its like a new kitchen to me. That is a play oven, although not much smaller than the real one.
Here are some of my favorite things in my kitchen besides my spices and knives. This great cookie/candy jar I got a garage sale this summer ($1) it has a beatiful design on the silver cap
This vase my sister got me years ago that I still love.
My chicken salt shaker and my striped olive oil bottle I got in Mexico.
My little wooden chickens, that hold my recipe cards.
My spice shelf...
And my glass ball...
