Kitchen Reveal Day









Penny from Lake Lure Cottage Kitchen, came up with an idea for an Annual Kitchen Reveal Day that would allow others to see where our cooking is done. My kitchen is part of a great room and it's always on display. That keeps me on my toes. I've included a shot of the pantry as well. The pantry makes the placement of the kitchen possible. Our home is built into a hillside and because of its many windows the house is full of light even on gray Oregon days.

Mary, I studied your photos quite a while. First of all, I noticed that beautiful Japanese influenced screen by the dining table. Then, I noticed on the top photo the screen opens to display windows. Beautiful. And, of course, your pantry is just as I imagined, because your orderly personality comes through in every post. Thanks for sharing. Loved it.

You have such a lovely home... Be honest, you cleaned and sparkled cause you knew you were showing photos. I am going to photograph mine right now, but will have to hide some of the clutter or my wife will be ticked off.

I LOVE this idea, and hope a lot of folks play along

I would give anything for a pantry where everything is in full view. It is hard to keep an area "clutter free" when it's right where people walk in to your home. Thanks for sharing your beautiful kitchen.
