Kitchen makeover

This was my original kitchen. 

Everything was white: access door, wall tiles, cupboards, floor… 

We made modifications a while ago as we wanted an open plan from the kitchen to the living area; washing and drying machines were moved to a built-in laundry place and we put wooden floor all over. One of the corner cupboards was modified (brown color on the right hand side). 

US mailbox

Wherever I have been, mailboxes have always been of my interest.  Their symbols are very similar on any of them: enveloppes, clarions, blasons or crowns when the country is a monarchy like Spain, Belgium, Denmark, etc.  Private mailboxes are usually regulated by law and most of them feature Post Office symbols. They use to be identical and gathered at the same place in apartments or group of residences. 



So it is where I live: all the mail is delivered at the same place and not door to door so it appears useless to have a mailbox at my entrance door... 

However, here are some pics taken along the road during my last trip across New England which actually gave me some creative ideas...

Chalk room workshop

Very interesting day in an excellent atmosphere at the Annie Sloan Chalk Room today; try to attend these lessons if you can as those painting techniques make great results.
