Agrodolce // Wedding Anniversary II

Aloha friends! It's been a while, hasn't it? We've had more visitors than we can count over the past few weeks and months. Between house guests Bryce and I managed to sneak off to a nice dinner to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary at Agrodolce, known for their Organic Sicilian Cuisine. We went to Sicily on our honeymoon, right around our first anniversary, so it was more than appropriate.

 

Seattle Summer and Polish Festival

We have been enjoying a summer full of visitors and great eats. Aunt Slynn stopped by for a few weeks and the adventures were never ending. A trip to Seattle wouldn't be complete without a stop to Pike Place Market, a coffee in hand, and a visit to Rachel the pig! 

[After] The Green Kitchen

Have you been holding your breath anxiously awaiting the after photos of our crazy apple wallpaper kitchen? Believe me, I was anxious to remove the colorful fruits and put my own touch on the kitchen. Please enjoy the photos of our apple turned GREEN kitchen!

The mini-makeover consisted of removing the border and wallpaper then priming and painting. It's amazing what a can (or two) of paint can do!

[Before] The Apple Kitchen

Last November we bought our very first home in Seattle, Washington. It was built in 1948 and we love the location, size, and charm of the house most of all. It's got many classic and beautiful elements including original hardwood floors, arched doorways, and large picture windows.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, they say. Ours, however, was severly lacking in the appearance department! Functional - yes. Spacious - yes. Ugly - YES. Please enjoy the before photos, taken the day we got our keys, prior to the mini kitchen makeover.

There are three doors leading into the kitchen. If you walked in through the front door this would likely be the way you'd enter. How do you like those apples?!
