Small Galley Kitchens and a Beautiful Swedish Home: Friday Finds
It’s hard to believe we’re more than halfway through June, but I’m loving every minute of it. My pond is looking healthy and I spend as much time enjoying it as I can. I promise to share photos soon – I’m just waiting for the waterlilies to bloom. And, we have baby koi again this year! I feel like such a proud mama even though I didn’t do anything to make that happen. We’ve also had regular rain so all my flowers and garden plants are doing great, too. So far this summer, no complaints from me! But let’s take a look at this week’s treasures that I was able to find for you, from small kitchens to a beautiful Swedish home.

Seeing the picture of a galley kitchen in your post made me realize how much I like the concept of that design. It saves lots of steps and hopefully, keeps people out of the kitchen and out of my way! I’m not a person who can think or function with extra people in my space. I used to manage it when I was younger, but not anymore!
