Dining with Cloches

I've been doing a lot of thinking about my blog, but very little doing.  I want to ensure that I post something interesting and insightful and use my blog as a way to chronicle my everyday life (which by the way, is not very interesting or insightful which may be why I am having trouble).  Please continue to bear with me as I overcome my writer's block.   I've been working on my Wish List for 2011 and determining steps and timelines.  One thing that I have already had to concede is my kitchen buildout.  We are in desperate need of working on our driveway, which became glaringly obvious after all the snow and sludge so far this year that has turned our drive into a horror show...so, we are going to have it hard-topped at the end of February.  That expense will mean that my kitchen buildout will need to be pushed back to late this year or into 2012.  As a result, I am moving forward with making the minor, cosmetic improvements to make my current kitchen livable and more functional.....I'm planning and planning right now, trying to keep unnecessary costs down.  Determining what will be 'throw away' money spent vs what can be spent and reused when we do the build-out. 

I have been playing around, resetting my tabletops with all the holiday items packed away.  Slowly but surely getting things back in order.  I've been working on cloches for my dining room table. 

Thanks for your visit and hope you are doing better than I am with making your home re-beautiful after Christmas.   I'm blaming it on my 'planning' for the year....that's my story and I'm sticking to it.  Cheers!
