Catalog Crazy

I get so excited when a good catalog arrives in the mail.  What's even better is discovering a new catalog (or store).  Leave me a comment letting me know of your favorite catalogs.  Maybe we will all discover a few new ones!

A good catalog day:

Fabulous Kitchen Designs

Isn't this a warm kitchen?  

Several thoughts while studying the picture:
1.  Notice the detailing above the doorway--it appears like a tall case clock.

2.  Imagine how different this would appear if the refrigerators had not been paneled.  

3.  I think this is a lovely kitchen, but don't you think the three light fixtures are distracting?  I   keep looking to the ceiling.  Maybe it's just the camera angle.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could hid all of the appliances like this refrigerator drawer?

God Bless America

John Adams

'On November 1, 1800, just before the election, John Adams arrived in the new Capital City to take up his residence in the White House. On his second evening in its damp, unfinished rooms, he wrote his wife, "Before I end my letter, I pray Heaven to bestow the best of Blessings on this House and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise Men ever rule under this roof."'

God Bless America

(from the biography of John Adams)

Well said, Eco-Prep


I promise, I'm almost off of my political meanderings.  I did want to tell you about a post I just read.  I think most of you, regardless of your political persuasion,  will really enjoy reading the blog post by Eco-Prep.  Her point is so very well said.
