Making Do With a Kitchen Table

I wish I had known about the home bar furniture available at CSN stores when we lived in Costa Rica.  We needed some bar stools for our kitchen island.  We've been back in the States for 8 months now and I still miss that kitchen in spite of the mismatched stools.  We were so blessed to be able to build our dream home when we lived in Costa Rica.  Of course, when you live in Costa Rica, nothing ever quite goes as planned.  But my kitchen, it was perfect (well, minus the one drawer that stuck and the fact that the plumber messed up so big that we couldn't get hot water for the first three months!). 

I love everything about our house in the States, except the kitchen.  I can live with small closets and small bedrooms, but a small counter-less kitchen is challenging for a momma who was used to using that kitchen island for teaching, feeding, baking, and just absolutely everything else.  It's so silly to miss a kitchen, but oh, do I ever miss it! 

This year, our kitchen table will just have to do for rolling out Christmas cookie dough!
