Have you ever noticed that everyone always hangs around the kitchen?

You could have the best dressed living room, a fantastic front parlour (as my grandmother used to say) or a totally decked out games room, and yet, everyone migrates to the room where all the activity is!

That is because the kitchen is the heart of the home, its where all the activity happens from morning until night. Its where everyone hangs out when you are entertaining, and that is because its the warmest and friendliest and usually the nicest smelling room in the house, and also where you are most likely to be!

If you love to entertain, cook, even just having coffee, its a great place to be.

On the next few pages, you will find ideas and inspiration to make this room, a special room... One that reflects your tastes and style, without breaking the bank.

Sometimes all it takes is a organized cupboard to get clutter off the counter, or new linens, even just changing the tea towels and adding a few candles can make the difference between a warm atmosphere and a room with no personality. You don't need to spend thousands to get that effect.

My story may scare some people, but it turned out nice in the end, and through some creativity, and literally no money, I made it work during all its different stages...

Read on, to find out more of my story, and also to give you some ideas, some great places to shop, or some inspiration to turn that special room, into the heart of your home...
