Welcome to our kitchen! It's a galley style kitchen which is why I wanted to have a butcher block versus a standard 'table'. From here I cannot keep my eyes on Drew....so I need to be able to cut, chop, cook from the butcher block! (I don't really have to keep my eyes on Drew - I just LIKE to - he's a handsome hubby ya know!) The walls are painted a taupe color from Benjamin Moore - very lovely color picked out by a great interior designer that resides in the Charlotte area if anyone needs help...like me. :)
