BOOTS!

Winter is here. What a bully she is to kick out poor Autumn this year!

So, after a conversation with my dear friend Nat this last weekend about knee high boots, I dedicate this one to you dear :)
Up here in Minnesota, winters are kind brutal and always icy no matter how much salt you dump on the ground. High heels are a slip-on-your-butt-faster-than-you-can-blink so these are all flats that I simply adore!

Kitchen Remodel Inspiration Board

So, we want to remodel our kitchen. Here are some things we would like to do:
1. Paint the cabinets white/bleached wood look/ivory
2. New backsplash
3. Dark counter tops, not sure on laminate or not yet
4. Paint the walls a softer color and more neutral to whatever cabinet color and countertop colors we choose.
5. New floors, maybe wood

Here are some pretty ideas we are looking at:

Check out the ceiling in this one! Husband wont go for it, but its really pretty!

ANNNND here is our kitchen now (sorry for the mess):

Ok, here is one of my biggest problems... Should I paint the trim along the top and bottom of the cabinets and around the windows? If I do, look closely (sorry about the flash, I was hurrying, battery was dieing) the color around the windows is a faux wood, how would I paint that?

What do you think?
