A Wanna-Be Spring Kitchen

Hi Friends! It has been so cold here in MO lately. Negative temps... It's insane!! I love me some snow in the winter but when Christmas is over, I'm OVER IT. We have gotten a lot of good snow this year which is fun but now its just a big cold icy MESS outside and yesterday was so frigid. I decided I'd make myself feel better by cranking up the heat, the tunes, and pull out some florals! I was reading my Magnolia Table cookbook this morning while having my coffee and thought I'd snap some pics while the light was good. Here's what my kitchen looks like today...
