I literally cannot go onto Pinterest without obsessing over every single home interior board I can find. My latest obsession: kitchens, especially ones with a lot of personality. 

Chalkboard Paint

I've been obsessed with chalkboard paint. There are so many creative and fun ways that you can use it. In the kitchen, while organizing supplies/materials, as a headboard, etc. One of my favorite ways that I've seen it used is in an empty frame on the wall. This way you can continuously change the quote/saying as often as you want! For me, this is a plus because I'm constantly looking for ways to change things. I get bored very, very easily. Here is an article about some of the best uses for this paint. How would you use it?

Another favorite is this serving tray:

Smitten Kitchen

You'll soon realize the kitchen is one of my favorite rooms in the house. I LOVE to cook for my guy and my friends. I'll post many, many recipes. Don't you worry :) In the meantime, swoon over these kitchens like I did.  All photos: imgfave

THAT PANTRY DOOR. Enough said.

Love the rustic feel the wood gives.

Natural light makes this room.
