Casa Kitchen and Haiku Winner!

Ermagersh you guys, I had so much fun reading all your haikus!  Thanks so much to everyone who chimed in, it was so fun!  And it was so hard to pick a winner.  I wish we could all go to the Target snackbar for a round of Icees, on me. Here are just a few of my favorites:

Colleen:
a zig and a zag
all those lines make me dizzy
chevy in the hiz (zy)!

Cara:
Showcase ups and downs
A wall, a chair, a table
Metaphor of life

Bethany:
is chevronified
in the dictionary yet?
it should be, i say.

Heidi:
If I win today
I will spend it at “Tarjay”
Hello Merona

Haha Heidi, that last line made me literally LOL, with a snort and everything.

But the grand prize in our haiku contest goes to … Bets!

First this way, then that
Chevron should use MapQuest app
for shortest distance.

Yay Bets! I will be contacting you asap about your prize.

And I must give an honorable mention to Karl, who instead of a haiku, shared his musings on the chevron trend in an epic pseudo-villanelle. He wins an imaginary soft pretzel from the Target snackbar in addition to his imaginary Icee.

Next time limericks?

And now, what you really came here for, a Monday morning makeover!  This one comes from Cristina at Remodelando la Casa and it’s better than superb.  It went from starter-home kitchen to starring-in-a-magazine kitchen. Once again, the secret is raising the cabinets all the way to the ceiling.  Nothing makes a small kitchen seem bigger, faster.

And those lights above the island are my everything.

I also need to announce the ShoeMint giveaway winner!  Congrats Chinda Phraph!  I will be contacting you asap!
