Wabi-Sabi

Wabi-Sabi : The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". Thats me! I've finally found the word or phrase if you will that describes me perfectly. Thats why I love the original levi 501's after they have holes in them, thats why I paid $275.00 for the Ralph Lauren Khakis with the intentional paint splatters on them. Thats why I love our leather furniture more and more each day that it gets worn and beaten looking. ahhhhhhhhh! I feel like I've the weight of the world lifted from my shoulders.. Happy weekend!

The Kitchen...

The Kitchen .. Before.. notice the hideous tile work behind the sink.. yes it is black and white ceramic tile with vegetable tiles dispersed throughout.. YUCK! we took self adhesive floor tiles that look like granite and hot glued them over the ugly tile... behold a better looking kitchen.


The Kitchen, continued...

The Kitchen... is basically just an L shaped counter. Fridge, sink, dishwasher and then around the bend is the Stove. We dropped our butcher block in to give us prep space and behold our new dining table with leather chairs. We went with a table that expands to seat at least 6 and use our extra chairs in the office for desk seating.
