My Place and Yours - Kitchen Love

ahhh, love.  It is in the air; or so they tell me.

When we bought our house I was horrified by the 30 year old appliances in the kitchen which are no end of trouble.  And the very 80s oak cabinets and framing all over the place make me shudder on a daily basis. Oh and the backward installed kitchen faucet. 

However, we have worked, I think, very well with some of these features and I do love the the strangeness of our kitchen.

 

Our giant heat loss window looks out over our small deck and right into the the church next door.  They open their blinds on Sunday mornings and it gives me an evil chuckle if we've had a recent party as the out of doors is usually quite littered with beer cans and plastic cups from beer pong.

The vintage aprons were inspired by my great grandmother's christmas apron.   I felt very bad having it and not using it or having a proper place to hang it.  And then I picked up a couple here and there and there was this HUGE window to liven up.

This is one of two giant green spoons I have,  The hand beater was my grandmothers and is still in good working condition but I prefer it for decor.

My mom found these lovely poppies in some thrift store I believe.  It doesn't match her decor but fit in just perfectly with our vintage green and orange kitchen.

The cupboards have been decorated with real vintage wall paper from a house sale.  I bought it with no idea what I was going to do with it.  I wanted to paper the kitchen but love the shade of green so much I couldn't do it.  And so Rebecca had the genius idea to paper the hideous cabinets.  And of course, I love all my little tea cups and mugs (these are only a few).

Thank Punky & Me for presenting My Place and Yours and also where you can find all the other fun kitchens.  The theme came from these lovelies Yardage Girl and Thrift Nest Sew.
