Every since I saw the Osbourne's kitchen in the

2005 Mtv reality series I've wanted a sofa in my kitchen.

it's a little blurry, but isn't it the coziest?

You'd never expect that the bat-bitting Ozzy lived here.

You'd expect his place to look more like this ...

{which is Chritina Aquilera's home now}

personally, I prefer Ozzy's kitchen.

Christins'a a little too rock & roll for me.

Here's my version...

We removed the formal dining room

{neither cozy nor rock & roll}

You might remember this post of our den from

last year, before we remodeled our kitchen. 

Now our kitchen is open,
airy & ohh so cozy!

We tried to add simple, useful touches
that express our personality.

like a special spot for coffee in the morning -

to a spot for budding artist to doodle

and keep shopping lists.

open cabinetry,

and burlap bags.

An odd painted pantry adds a little color to the mix

along with a painted ceiling.

Let me remind you what this kitchen looked like when we bought the house...

and what it looks like today -
{or technically the day I cleaned it so I could take these photos}

It's cozy & it's US.
