Pinterest is a great idea for scrap booking design ideas. I have been using it to catalog blog pictures and totally forgot I need to figure out a kitchen. DUH. And I have seen so many good ones lately. I am starting a kitchen board right now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635768533679313199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-40356168573411697132013-02-06T15:14:04.135-06:002013-02-06T15:14:04.135-06:00Me too!

I've kinda set a rule for myself that I will only look briefly at the pins of people who repin me, since I know we have similar taste.

I remember my gran having partial walls/shelves from the loungeroom into the kitchen dining area in her home. The shelves were full of treasures that I probably paid no attention to at all back then, but would give my eye teeth for now! All the best for the rest of the construction and design process.

I have a very similar idea for filling the gaps between the beams. I think it will look awesome. Space to display special pieces, but still light and airy, and a way of disguising the beams at the same time. I think Anth is building it when he gets home...gotta keep him busy, right?!)<br />Can't wait to see your house Dana!Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258543009688502584noreply@blogger.com
