~My Vintage Kitchen~
I have been soooo excited to show you pictures of my kitchen! I have been waiting until Friday to show and tell you about it!
A couple of months ago I painted the cabinets white, this week I finally got up the energy to repaint the walls!
The kitchen was formerly red...but it is now a very soft antique white!
( I thought a red kitchen would inspire me to cook, not liking to cook, to me is a terrible flaw as a housewife...sigh.)
I just adore the color of this oh so Shabby Hoosier Cabinet!
Another shot...I am not finished, but it is at least presentable now...unlike many of my creations on this poor litle stove! Giggle, at least I can laugh about this and really I am not terrible, I would just rather be painting...
I have not figured out what type of wall decor I want for each side of the cabinet, so for now I framed a vintage piece of ceiling tin...
Some darling vintage items...I am thinking about painting the mixer pink...and isn't this vintage toaster cover the cutest?!
A sweet thank you to Cindy at http://romantichome.blogspot.com/ for hosting Show and Tell Friday!
Hugs,
Olivia

Hello Olivia, your kitchen transformation is just GORGEOUS!! What a terrific job! Now it is so pretty, you will definitely want to spend more time in it (perhaps to even cook, LOL)
ReplyDeleteWarmest always, Brenda
I'm a sucker for a red wall, but I know it can get overwhelming especially in a small area. The white cabinets look fantastic and really open up the space. I'm curious....what goodies do you have in the cupboard above the microwave? (Love the turquoise scale too) ;)
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is adorable! You did a great job!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the toaster cover. FUN!

I've been wanting to paint our kitchen red, LOL, but hubby wasn't 100 percent on board with that so we're going to do one wall in the family room instead.
ReplyDeleteLove that hoosier cabinet!!!
Now not be able to cook is NOT a flaw for a housewife. Who says the woman has to do the cooking anyway?!? My hubby does ours!
Love how your kitchen turned out - your Hoosier cabinet is beautiful! My favorite color! ~Marcy
