A tiny Kitchen update!

Before my appointment with the Genius at the Apple store, I popped
into Sur la Table for the knob! I also exchanged my new Cassis dutch
oven for this fresh Kiwi color. I thought I would love the Cassis forever,
but the more I lived with it, the less I liked it. Purple is my favorite color,
but that shade was just too Dark for my kitchen. Additionally, the fact
that it was Exclusive to Sur la Table was a appealing to me - However, now
that it is no longer exclusive to Sur la Table and has been picked up by
Williams-Sonoma, means I had two good reasons to Choose another color!
I was handed this recipe for Fried green tomatoes this
morning. And, after picking up these tomatoes at the Farmer's
market, I knew I exactly which color I would be bringing home!
I have been searching for the right stools to place under the overhang
created when I ordered the island top expanded. Thanks to Jannette
Joseph, (see Here) the fabulous interior designer responsible for
transforming a loft for Gwyneth Paltrow's family, I now have them!
I love them! And best of all, when Jannette said they were $99 each,
it turns out that, each is actually a Pair of stools! See them here
They are the Perfect height! And, although it doesn't
look like they would be, they are Comfortable too! The
finger slot in the seat makes them easy to Move too!

I took a Cookie order this week - And, having a Comfortable stool
so that I can Decorate right at the island, will make it even more fun!
Not to mention the fact that when the Ranger comes home, he'll
be able to pull up a stool and chat with me while I Cook for him!
Bing smells something New... Time for inspection!

  2. Eeeek, J! My favorite color! I love that green or chartreuse -- whatever you call it. It's green and it's purrty. You sure know where to find your stuff. I love the bar stools, too.

  4. The stools are perfect. I bought one for my art studio a couple years ago for close to $200.00. I also really like that Kiwi color - so pretty.

  5. Beautiful. Our kitchen stools are used far more often than the chairs at the table. Folks just love to gather round.

  6. ya know, I thought I was going to love the cassis color. I mean, I LOVED it in the catalog but when I saw it in person it was flat and muddy looking and my love for it quickly disappeared. Apparently you felt the same. BUT I wanted to like it.

    This Green though is spectacular!
