Lisa Ann's Kitchen
This is where I prepare and serve my meals. I thought you might like a peek into my kitchen. We built our house five years ago and I was so excited to design my kitchen. I like a lot of counter space when I cook so things I don't use often are kept in my cabinets. Our kitchen and dining room are done in the grapes and wine bottle theme. We like the Tuscan look. I still have some decorating to do but it's coming along nicely. I wanted white appliances instead of stainless steel. The stainless steel reminds me to much of a restaurant instead of a home.
