My first comment!

Neenie from over at The Chronicles of George was kind enough to post the first comment on my blog. So, without further ado...

I love the blue wall color in the kitchen, That's just gorgeous. I also am envious of your ability to keep magnets on the refrigerator with cats in the house. My 2 used to *live* to knock 'em off and carry 'em around in their mouths. :)

Thanks! The color is based on the tile that we'll be putting behind the stove once we get back to that little project. It'll really tie the room together. As for the fridge magnets, our critters haven't really gone after them, by some stroke of luck. They're on the counters and everywhere else they shouldn't be, but have never bothered fridge magnets.

What's the hole in the bricks at the top of the wall?

If you're referring to the one up near the ceiling with the foam oozing out of it, we think that's the original pipe for a wood stove that was in the room way back when it was a kitchen. Probably 40 or 50 years ago, but we aren't certain. Once things settle down some I'm going to try to get into town records and get into the history of the house.
