When we moved to the country, one of the first differences we noticed was the birds. In the city, there wasn't much in the way of bird diversity.

Obviously, since they will be around a heat source, you can’t go wild, but subtle touches are a nice way to inject a little style into these kitchen necessities.

Ombre is a French word for shading or graduating. In fashion, it refers to the graduation of color in a garment, such as when a fabric is very dark at one end and gradually lightens.
