New Finds for The Kitchen

<div style="text-align: center;">Hey there!  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  My hubby brought home some things the other day for me and this one particular thing, I just fell in love with.  And it's perfect for Valentine's Day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5YhyphenhyphenqV_07USMlQgQLGEHlaERJxvI9odW1e59vR9Tjr_WJ3bLuaPhF5UAaC8akYOAzQo4v0yat4dOjEZQq3r7aKKQx9soKxXrVnQyBgQeLzohym9VgGpFeep-nGKtVoweX63wa4C-EO48/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Stairway Redo and a Giveaway

<div style="text-align: center;">When we first moved into our home 5 years ago, I was so disappointed with the stairway.  I had always dreamed of having a beautiful staircase and ours was just boring.  We always wanted to redo it but could never find the time.  However, hubby came home with some huge old barn beams the other day that ignited my fire again.  I was having trouble figuring out what to do with them until I saw this pic on Pinterest.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
