I love kitchens, just visit my Pinterest page and you will see I am obsessed ! Being a Realtor it is always a joy when I have a listing with a killer kitchen.... This photo is from one of my pending listings in Bedford, a popular subdivision in Greenville NC.The builder, TAB Construction, constructed this home as one of eleven Southern Living Showcase Homes of 2014,  Nationally !!!  This home also  made it into Southern Living  Magazine twice in 2015.What appeals to me is the open concept with a large island for gathering, setting as a buffet, or using for baking and cooking ! The white tile backsplash and carrara island makes my heart sing ! I love the current style of gray and  white with dark contrasting floors ! What trend are you loving to see in your listings  ????

We all need a fun night out to cut loose , enjoy friendships and have a little creative fun ! Lisa Jordan , a local artist, has a wonderful business here in Greenville, NC where she opens her home to a class organized by a party host and food/ wine etc is brought by the attendees.  Our group of 12 ladies had a great time !  We hung out in her lovely kitchen with the food and wine we brought and got the party started ! She then moved us to the painting room to work on our masterpieces ! Each party-goer picks out a theme for their project prior to the event so paint bottles etc are close to your easel set up... Lisa sets the tempo with great music and we just got to work all the while having a good time !  My painting is for my daughter Kaitlin...she is getting her own apartment this summ...
