The Tour - Part 1

The next rooms that I'll show you are the pantry/mudroom and our breakfast nook.  First is the pantry/mudroom, which is (in my opinion) one of the best rooms in the house.  This is the room that greets visitors when they enter our house, and Jordan built both pretty and functional coat and shoe racks by the door. 
There's also a whole wall of cabinets with doors made of chicken wire with blue & white gathered gingham fabric behind them.  This hides all of our food and a bunch of other kitchen paraphenalia.  With exposed beams and dried lavender hanging from the ceiling, this room has a decidedly rustic European look.
 
Next is our breakfast nook, which is right off the kitchen.  I got the cool wood/metal table from Farm Chicks, an annual antiques/craft show held in Spokane each year. 
We've hung a cottage-style plate rack on the wall, and I've filled that with blue & white platters I've picked up here and there, along with a collection of burleighware.  (Thanks Kim!)
The needlepoint work of our home that Jordan's sister made has a place of honor in this room, and it is flanked by curtains made from one of my favorite french-inspired fabrics. (Thanks to Jordan's Mom, who made almost all of the curtains in our home). 

Stay tuned...
