~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?!

 I am giving you a sneak peek... there is more to come, of my kitchen, tomorow for Pink Saturday! A delightful pinky surprise, you will love it so check back!
A sweet thank you to Cindy at http://romantichome.blogspot.com/ for hosting Show and Tell Friday!
Hugs,
Olivia

  5. 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) ;)

  7. 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.

    Love 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!

  25. Hello Olivia!! Glad you stopped by & left a message so I could visit your beautiful blog!
    I love your kitchen redo, & adore also the color of your hoosier cabinet!! I have been wanting to paint my kitchen cabinets a soft white for years, & am afraid it will be too big of a project, was it hard.. any tips you can share would be much appreciated! :)
    Great to meet you, & I look forward to seeing more of your kitchen redo! :) ( I'm not fond of cooking either) doesn't mean we don't want a beautiful kitchen! :)
    Have a beautiful weekend!!
