Talk About Tuesday

Talk About TuesdayWelcome to Talk About Tuesday! If you are new you may want to check out the Guidelines before posting. Thanks for joining us!

Did you miss me? I fell off the face of the earth there for a few days! I haven't been able to post to my blog since last Thursday so I missed Smart Habit Saturday and I thought I was going to miss Talk About Tuesday as well but I got on the computer this morning and low and behold...here I am!

I'm talking all about Stranger and the kids this week and how they so sweetly did some re-arranging for me in the kitchen. They swapped out a bookshelf and a hutch that were oh so in the wrong places. I had my reasons for putting them where I did but frankly I can't remember what those were.


The hutch had books piled on it and the bookshelf was in the kitchen full of dishes. They look much better where the are don't you think? I have wanted to use the hutch in the kitchen for a while now but I needed a piece of furniture that would fit the microwave and it didn't. Till I got the brilliant idea to secure the top half of it to the wall ABOVE the microwave! It works!

Don't tell me it looks weird because I like to think it works. Now I just need a talented decorator to come over and make everything look cute for me. I'm not good with arranging things. Those dishes are my Pyrex collection and will probably go in my island when we get it moved in. I want you to know that I bought the paint for it yesterday so hopefully you'll see the finished product next week.



Organized books that won't stay organized for long once the kids have their way with them.



I love the little wire shelf in the cupboard because I don't like mixing bowls all nested together. There are two bowls on each shelf so it's easier to pull out the one I want.

What do you have to talk about this week?

*Important - Please link to your individual Talk About Tuesday post instead of your home page or else my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder will have to spend time fixing the links. Here is how you link to an individual post if you’ve never done it before: Right click on the date at the bottom of the post you want to link to (or the post title depending on where you blog) click “Copy Shortcut” and then paste it into Mr. Linky.

Welcome back! I was starting to get worried there over the weekend thinking you were so sick you couldn't get online! I'll think of something to talk about today and be back later.

I was worried about you too! Glad to see you back!

That hutch is beautiful! Glad to see you're back!

Yay! You're back! The hutch looks great. I need to get my books behind doors so the baby doesn't destroy them. He loves to see how fast he can chuck them off the shelf.

I love the way the hutch looks. It really looks like it was supposed to be that way.

I just found your blog yesterday and have been reading through it. It is great. Can't wait to continue reading more.

I love that you don't blog for 5 days and people are scared you've gone missing! I don't blog for a whole week and people know where I am...being lazy! Well, the 3 people that read my blog :)! Anyways, just wanted to say that your hutch looks really really cute. You filled the left side of the microwave so well that I didn't even notice it was supposed to be one piece sitting on top of the other. I think it looks great!

They both look awesome! Don't you love it when you have HELP moving stuff? My helper is now in his own apartment, so I have to wait until he comes to visit. I think I just need bigger muscles.

Can't wait to see the painted island.

You're full of great ideas. The hutch looks great like that.

Yeah Lara, I was praying you'd be able to get back up and running!!

Fabulous hutch, wow! And aren't you so clever raising it up like that. Love it!!

i truly can not wait to see more pics of how your house is turning out. i can tell you have good taste!

Is today Tuesday already? Oops! I'll either have a late entry or do it next week - we'll see how the evening goes.

Anways, love the hutch! I didn't notice it was attached separately until you mentioned something, took me a minute to understand what you were talking about.

I didn't even realize it wasn't together until you said something.

You're so smart. I never would have thought to do that.

And compared to my house, you are a design genius. I love the dress form!

I like your taste in furniture. :) It all looks great!

Glad you're back, Lara. I missed you on Sat., even had a post all ready. Good move with the furniture. Have a good one.

I'm glad you're back and fine! I was all set for Smart Habits Saturday and hoping all was well. Glad it was a tech glitch and nothing more!

I think everything does look cute! :-) I love your hutch!

Lara, I updated my post to clarify about the Deceptively Delicious book. She suggests planning ahead to make purees and freeze them.

Have a great day!

Looks great! I love that hutch :)

The hutch looks good. I know exactly what you mean about books staying organized. The way you have your mixing bowls arranged is interesting. Mine are nested together.

Missed you! Glad you are back :) I love the hutch! I think it's just pure genius that you hung the top half to make it work better for you. It's such a beautiful piece and I'm so glad you had great helpers to move these around :)

I was getting worried about you too (and your baby). I'm glad you're ok. I guess you got on here after I did on Tuesday because you weren't here, so now I'm late for Talk about Tuesday! boo hoo.

I LOVE IT! I especially love the bowl idea. I have about 7 bowls stacked together and it drives me nuts. This would work wonderfully! Thanks for the ideas. :)
