Happy Easter

One of the nicest holidays this season. Enjoyed watching some excellent old movies related to the faith. "Ten Commandments" and "King of Kings" were very inspiring and reminded me of the importance of Easter. I baked a ham and tried a new recipe, Potatoes Florentine. Delicious.The Easter Bunny hid eggs in the back yard and left loads of candy. Beautiful music at church. Nice evening walk in the cool breeze with my family. Life just doesn't get much better. O.K., maybe drinking mojitos on the beach in Pensacola! To top off the day, we rented "The King's Speech" starring Geoffrey Rush and Colin Firth. Excellent movie! I can see now why Colin Firth (aka Mr. Darcy) won the Academy Award for his portrayal of King George VI of England.Also watched the final episode of "Upstairs, Downstairs" on Masterpiece Theatre. I think I got enough of my British influence for the week. Oh, wait, the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is on Friday!! More British culture!! Makes me miss my honeymoon trip to England, Ireland and Wales!

French Country Island

Beautiful example of what I would love to see in my kitchen! I absolutely adore the distressed look of this kitchen island. Most especially, I love the wine rack and cook book shelf as well as the ornate posts on the corners. Adore, adore, adore. I am dreaming about a kitchen redo (someday) and am going to keep this in my mind as how I want my cabinets redone. I've thought about redoing the island myself, however, we have stock cabinetry and a friend tried doing this with little success. I also don't have the beautiful features of this island. Dreaming of a french country kitchen in Texas!
