What a pretty bowl!

So last night was very eventful.  After a lot of tears and faux cursing (you know...things like DRATS!  DANG IT!  SERIOUSLY?!?...things like that...) on the Hub's side we finally figured out crown molding.  He's gonna do a tutorial on it 'cause seriously...everything we read just did.not.work.  Unless you're a contractor and this is what you do for a living.  Then I'm sure it would make sense.  We however....?  Are not.

So little brother saved the day.  I love calling my brother little brother...'cause he's 6 feet tall.  Not really so little.  He's skinny as all get out but does kinda tower over me...and I'm not really short.  I think he seems taller 'cause he's so skinny.  You know what I'm talking about?  ANYWAY!  I digress.  Little brother came over.  He had previous experience cutting and installing crown molding.  Yeah...we should have called him to begin with.  Then we would have had less of a reason to faux curse.  And I got to chat with sister-in-law.  And that was really fun.  And sister-in-law is quite possibly one of the Princess's favorite people in the world so she was a little angel all night long.  Even when she was rubbing her eyes towards the end.

BUT!  That is a post for another day.  And trust me...it'll be a good one.  The post for today is all about bowls.  In particular...these bowls.


More particularly...THIS bowl...

Um...I think I really really need a couple of these for my new kitchen.  I adore that gray with the blue lip.  Seriously...love.  

I'm also loving this one...


And this one...


Cause you know...I've realized the kitchen is going to be finished before I know it and I'm going to need some things to make it pretty.  And with my dishes being on open shelves....yep, I'm getting some new ones.  But I have a surprise for you in regards to that.  And I'm DYING to share...but I just can't.  So you'll have to just be surprised. 

And stay tuned...more on crown molding coming up this week with another sneak peek on how the kitchen is progressing...

I didn't even notice the blue lip on the gray bowl till you mentioned it.

I really love how you can always find the details in things. It probably comes from being a photographer...or maybe it's just natural for you and that is WHY you're such a good photographer!

Looking forward to the crown moulding post. We had our first go at it a few years ago. The one outside corner in our "L" shaped LR/DR nearly KILLED our marriage. Thank goodness for wood filler and sanding blocks :-) The lumber mgr at our local store kindly gave us a lesson in "coping" (how apt), so the inside corners went well.
