The Kitchen Tour

Happy Weekend~

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend so far. I am happy to say that I am feeling much better and back in the Blog World and back to the "Real" World. We are hearing about all the horrible tornadoes across the country and I am hoping all of you that live out that way are safe and sound. It looks devastating and so...scary!!

The weekend  here started with fondue night with some great friends. Lots of  laughs and a fun time had by all of us:) Today started with my son's little league game. It started at 9:00 and it was so hot!! Who would have thought??? It  was a great game and Blake did well which always makes for a better day for him:) The rest of the day we got Avery's room ready for painting on Monday. Avery is so very excited.

Today I am going to show you the rest of my kitchen. Part of it was shown when I did the post about my French ladder so I figured you might as well see the rest.

When we bought the house, the cabinetry was all white with long silver knobs. The floor was a white and green linoleum. We lived with that for a few years and then decided to repaint the cabinetry. We did it two toned. The bottom cabinets are a slate blue color and the top cabinets are creamy color. They both have a "worn" look. I have to say that I LOVE the way they turned out.

We added satin nickel knobs to all the cabinets.

Here is a close up of the blue part of the cabinets. My sink is on top of these particular ones. We added the decorative pieces to the drawers. So easy to do and they really make an impact.

I found this adorable basket to put by the back door for all the shoes. I have no idea how so many shoes accumulate there. Yikes!!! Then I found the little sign to go above it. Any encouragement so the shoes end up in the basket and not all over the floor is welcome.

Yes, we all wear flip flops all year round;)

The kitchen chandelier. I got this for my 10th wedding anniversary. Nice huh???

The next few images are some vignettes around the kitchen.

This is part of my window sill above my sink

This sits in a corner space and the blue box is actually a vintage jewelry box. The inside is not too great, but the I love the color of the box. I also love to decorate and find vintage books. I have them scattered all around my house. I also enjoy finding them and listing them in our Etsy Shop. We have several sets right now.  The gravy boat is from an estate sale. I found it sitting on the stove behind a bunch of "junk" and I really mean JUNK. You never know where the next treasure will be;)

This is the entry into my dining room. I love my blue and white plates....

This is my "desk" area of the kitchen. Instead of using a plain old magnet board, I love to use vintage trays. They work great and are really nice to look at. I got this caddy from my sister in law. It was the perfect thing for the MANY pencils, pens and markers we have. We always have an overabundance. At least they are organized now:)

I hope you have all enjoyed the kitchen tour.
