So, when we moved into our new house last year, I decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to finally get started on my dream project.

I enjoy cooking and baking, but my favorite part of the room is definitely that huge window overlooking our backyard. It makes me feel like I’m on vacation every time I look out at all that green grass and sunshine!
