Chef at work...

We finally have our kitchen together enough for J to come and cook us dinner.  The wait was definitely worth it.





He did have some help!



But mostly he just had company and admirers and supervisors!!

 

Including Sarah cat.  I absolutely love this Monet-inspired table cloth...it is so happy and spring-y.




Curried lentil soup and salad, then herb-encrusted lamb and mushroom risotto and then a cheese plate afterwards...it was all soooo good.  Thanks J!!



This is our new kitchen chandelier.  We found it at the thrift store for only $15, and then spray painted over the brass and the electrician wired it in just the other day.  It looks beautiful when lit.

We have been looking for a big harvest table made with reclaimed lumber, and were hoping for one large enough to seat about 8-10 people.  While at the antique store recently, the woman there said she knew of one for sale, but it was for seating 12-14!!!  We are actually going to go have a look at it!  The Lord is really changing our hearts and preparing them to receive people into our home.  Hospitality has never been one of my gifts.  In fact, it has always stressed me out a little because I am so not good at it.
But we are so sure that this house is a gift and we are SURE that it is way too big for us, and we keep getting pictures in our mind of it full of people.  A place of sanctuary and peace and restoration.  We continue to look with anticipation to what God will work in and through it.
