This time of year is so magical with the daily changes in the garden. Your kitchen is going to be wonderful. We did something similar a few years ago, changing our windows and door around. It made such a difference.

I love the new window and door, fresh light is always a joy! And the table right against the window will be much enjoyed as well. Such beautiful pictures of your blooms! I agree with you about spring, it is so moody and unpredictable. But the glorious blooms that finally come about because of spring I just love. The mud, rain, gloominess, not so much. But as the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers, and I believe there must be a lot of truth to that, lol! Have a lovely day :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-14020838578690325962018-04-10T07:09:16.546-07:002018-04-10T07:09:16.546-07:00Lorrie, I know what you mean about the table by th...Lorrie, I know what you mean about the table by the window. I have my dining room table next to the balcony window in the living room as the dining room window is too high to see out. I loved seeing the green in bottles.

Now I’m relieved It’s warming up again. Hazy sky often caused by the yellow sand from the Gobi Desert mingled with toxic substance from industrial China is one of factors I don’t like Spring so much despite all the fresh beauties. I like the way how you display things on the shelves and the renovated kitchen with more light through such nice door and window. I’m so impressed with your husband’s skills.<br /><br />Yokostardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-59174131869730497032018-04-09T20:03:33.437-07:002018-04-09T20:03:33.437-07:00I generaly enjoy spring, but have to agree with yo...I generaly enjoy spring, but have to agree with you when it comes to this spring. We are still sitting by a cozy fire here in April. I don't mind that, but the grey, damp days don't inspire. Like you, I like to putter around our home. I need to do some puttering to clean out a closet or two.

Actually, it feels quite satisfying to connect with your surroundings and make something more organized or more functional or more beautiful. <br /><br /><i>Love</i> the changes that you are making to your kitchen! I know you're going to enjoy sitting at the window . . . already you've had opportunity to capture that darling little finch. I think that anytime we can add natural light to your surroundings it is a good thing.
