When we bought our house the kitchen was a boxed in cave, papered in polka dots and Coca-Cola border. We knocked out half a wall between the kitchen and living room and topped the half-wall with a $5 Re-Store counter top. For six years we have been unable to share a meal around a table. The kids sat on stools at the counter while we ate at the coffee table. Six years.Last week my dad tore out the wall. Leveled the floor. Resituated wiring. Brought over an old table.

| we used to play games on the kitchen floor but not anymore : ) |
And someday we'll have beautiful flooring to pull it all together but, for now, I'm content with the red linoleum kitchen meeting the orange tiled living room because, let's face it, I'm just a patchwork, mish-mash kind of girl.
