Because Pioneer Woman "needs" my "help"

Ree asked for kitchen advice, so instead of a thousand words, I’m posting a few pictures just for her. If anyone else finds this "hidden" post, can you see me **waving and smiling**? 🙂

For perspective–

Click here for before kitchen renovation.
Click HERE during (I actually never posted the pictures from the "during"…entirely too discombobulated).
Click HERE for a kitchen feature that gives me the warm tinglies :).

And below are some shots taken VERY QUICKLY just now, to share with my favorite Ranch Diva, you know, because she "asked" ;).

I included this shot because a) it shows the adjacent keeping room which has buttery walls and a red ceiling; plus, I lurve the red pendant lights separating the rooms.

I took this angle to show our mixed-use countertops–

black granite for the raised bar, the rest solid surface.

Last, here’s a closer view of the distressed cabinet doors; our painter provided samples with more sanding/distressing, we opted for the "more is less" option. And never-you-mind the smudges and fingerprints–I toldja I took these quickly!!(And mercy knows, you gotta keep it r.e.a.l….R I G H T??)

Ree, if you "need" any more decorating advice, you know where to find me (on the other side of Bloglines 😉 ).
