Kitchen tales…

So…we had to get a new fridge.

LOVING it.

so nice to go back to freezer on the bottom again. Missed it!

So…I think…maybe now the kitchen will stay spotless.

Not so much.

fridge 009-1

Apparently , according to the sign in the pantry…whining doesn’t fly in this casa

So… I had to resort to the big guns.

**Mothers hide your childrens eyes…faint of heart…find another blog to peruse**

fridge 005

…Can’t quite make it out?

Simple sentiment in dainty embroidery.

That should do it.

fridge 003-1

My mother of the year award should be coming any day.

Yep…any day now.

ok ok I'll put the tea towel back in the drawer...way in the back

hangs head.

Head over to Hooked on Houses to find even more things to get thoroughly hooked on!

The fridge looks great and I can imagine that you put that nice big freezer compartment to good use down in the sunshine state!

LOL! Where can I get one? Somehow my family thinks putting them in the sink IS doing the dishes.

OMG, I have drool running down my chin and hitting the floor! I want to come live at your house.:) I need one of those dish towels.:) I used to have a fridge with the freezer on the bottom and love it!!! Hopefully, again one day. Your house looks delicious!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by my blog...and do stop by again, please.:)

Cyndee Greene said...

OMG I'm so offended. Yes I am one of the faint of heart. hmmm....NOTTT!
Actually, I think teaching kids to do their dishes or help out in some way does put you more in the Mother of the year category than tho't of.
Anyway :) LOVE the Fridge & seeing little snippets of your world. Not just the oppulent.
I feel your energy even from the photos of your place. Makes my heart smile!!!

Deborah said...

HAHHAHAHAHhhahahahhahahahhahaha! HA! LOVE loVE LovE!!!! I laughed for 23 minutes. Seriously. Don't hang your head. You have been elevated to the ranks of Renee! And I am so coveting your new frig.

CMB said...

Love the fridge (and the towel) I hate my current fridge and keep looking at the bottom freezer models and dreaming!

Renée Finberg said...

i love your kitch. !

the towel...excellent.
i think the freezer on the bottom is the best.
the best is the double doors on top. you can fit so much more in. no ?

Silvia said...

Lorrie said...

Now, now missy! You know God doesn't like trash talk...with that said...atleast it was eloquently put. I hate that word...never say that word...but am oddly still looking at it...Congrats on your new fridge and I would still vote you for Mother of the Year...right after you do the dishes.
Blessings.

You are so funny, dear Linda!! J's the dishwasher at our house.;-)

I love the new fridge! I want one with a freezer on the bottom. Wish that is what we bought when we built the house!!

anita said...

NiiICE fridge!

Millie said...

Oh Linda - you are a hoot! No offence taken across the Pacific, just a big high five! I've got one of those Upside-Down refrigerators (or in Aussie speak - fridges) & love it to. More room in the top part for MOTH's beers. Have a fab weekend.
Millie ^_^

I've never had a fridge with the freezer on the bottom - I know I'd love it, too - so sleek!

Oliveaux said...

I'm loving the new fridge and OMG I can name many people who will want that towel (including me) that is too funny!!! I love it.

~ Lisa @ AbidingThere~ said...

Hahahaha!!

I love your new fridge - it is so fancy!

What kind of floors do you have in the room behind the kitchen? Pretty! Looks like a treatment directly on the slab, maybe? Do tell.

abeachcottage sarah said...

I have to say that quote is one of the funniest I have ever seen and me to a tee!!!!

i seriously NEED that here! seriously and one that says 'tidy the **** up' too too funny

dec0r8or said...

Hmmm....i seem to remember putting up a sign over the sink in one of my college apartments with that very sentiment on it!! LOL! (Of course, now you've got me feeling guilty, so I have to go do my dishes.)

Bravo on the new fridge. I LOVE my freezer-on-bottom fridge!

Melissa said...

I always wondered about the freezer on the bottom. I wanted to try one in our new kitchen, but got vetoed by my husband. Next house...

And I love the towel!

Julia @ Hooked on Houses said...

Oh, you crack me up. You're so funny, Linda.

I've never had a freezer below like that. I need a new fridge myself, so maybe I should consider it.

Love your kitchen, btw.

joan said...

Love the new fridge, but dang... now you won't be coming to live in mine since you have your new shiny jewel! I think they should make them with double icemakers for people who live in the South!! Love seeing more of your kitchen! Your home looks wonderful! Would love to see more, hint-hint!
Towel too funny! ;)
joan

Liz Harrell said...

So jealous of that fridge... it's fantastic!

Pam Kersting said...

Nice Refrigerator! I've got one that is very similar to that one. And the towel!! We ALL should have one of those!

katiedid said...

I have the same problem...dishes placed on the ciunter that never find their way into the dishwasher. I say leave it out!

Astrid in Bristling Acres said...

Beautiful fridge. But I'm really in love that photo of your kitchen! It looks like a bright, happy place.

Tamara Jansen said...

congrats on the new fridge.....and where'd you get that lovely towel?

Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net) said...

LOL So, you like the freezer on the bottom? I've never had one like that but I'm thinking that I might just give it a try with my next frig. Susan

Daly Essentials said...

yay for the new fridge! I LOVE the red hood in the kitch!!

DesignTies said...

Hahahaha!!! I LOVE that dish towel!!! That is totally classic!!!!

I need a toilet scrubber that expresses the same sentiment ;-)

Oh, and nice fridge :-)

Coconut Girl Connie said...

Yes, I agree about the bottom freezer, love mine too. Now I need an embroidered towel for the bath that says "Put down the_____seat" ha!ha!

vicki archer said...

I think I need to hang that tea towel around my neck so everybody here sees it! Enjoy the long weekend - work and washing up free, xv.

Unknown said...

Hey Linda, love that fridge!

I went back and forth on getting that type of fridge. It reels me in then confuses me. Since I've never had one with the freezer on the bottom, I wasn't sure if I would like it. So I'm still going with the double door kind. One day, one day I'll probably regret not getting one like you. Or then again one day I may just haul off and get one.

Blessings - Debbie

Ivy Lane said...

LOL! Linda, you crack me up! I am most envious of your new fridge! Where can I get one of those towels?!!!!

Have a Great Weekend!

Linda Lou said...

How I long for a refrig like that one...now you gotta fill it up with lots of "healthy" food-really like your new header.

mati said...

love it!! from a mom to a mom and from a pediatrician mom of adolescents with selective hearing/reading skills, do you think one could market this jewel of a towel to Facebook to place on all teen's walls as kind of a hint?

SeaWorthy said...

THIS is why I COME HERE!!!
your soooo bottom drawer, and Im not talking about your fancy ass fridge, either..sister!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOT!!
Love and kisses from the upper left coast!!

chanteusevca said...

I rarely have a moment to comment on your beautiful blog, but just had to this time since you made me howl with laughter.

First of all, I'm with you on the new fridge. I'm loving our bottom freezer two drawer freezers with the french door top that can hold so many more goodies than I ever thought possible.

Secondly, may I PLEASE borrow that dish towel???? I desparately NEED it for a family member who shall remain nameless.

Warm regards,

Victoria in Texas
