I just moved a few months ago and feel settled in and know I'll be here a long time. It's time to start decorating! I'm starting with the kitchen.
The Goal:
Country style– cottage/cabin like, rustic/homey
To plan and have the job done no later than July (2 months)
To make it really unique, stylish, and very functional
The Challenges:
- I live in a rented city apartment
- Small space
- low budget
The Assets:
- big do-it-yourselver
- very artistic, especially with a paint brush
Can you give me advice, direct me to good websites and resource? Show me photos of your country home, or "country home" apartment?
If anyone is into it, I made an interactive web page with pictures of the existing kitchen, sketches, and interactive polls and guestbooks for your input. I don't wanna spam the board, but if you e-mail me I will send you a link.
In these early planning stages, the more input the better.
Thanks in advance. I am off to web surf and look forward to replies.

Second hand stores are great for this type of thing, as well as antique malls.
I like the whole wagon wheel on the wall idea, it's always gotten my attention. I don't know how closely this might run to shabby chic, but whitewashed pine furniture has always been a nice look, I think.
Can be mistaken for New England beach house looking, however.
log furniture - there is a place in Kentucky that is very reasonable -
