evening shadows

 ...evening shadows in our kitchen
 have a way of exposing flaws
 while at the same time
 comforting and covering the cares and stresses of the day.
 Patterns and wood grains blend
and sleep sends its subtle invitation.

(Everything here had a life with someone else before coming to us...
usage and years add character and a patina
that cannot be achieved overnight.)

  1. I did not see flaws. I saw only lovely wood in a kitchen. Nothing like wood and any marks are character!

    1. True friends overlook the flaws :).
      I'm a BIG fan of wood and enjoy it in all its shades and shapes.

  2. I like your romantic evening photos, especially of the table and the wooden bowl and fruit.

  4. Lovely! I love wood too, and with little grandchildren around now...I just can't worry over little nicks and dings here and there. A little more character gets added in!

    Have a lovely weekend!

  6. I often stop to look at the light and how it changes. There is one kitchen window at our house that seems to be the most effected and really shows how the seasons change. Nice shadows.
