Kitchen Inspiration

Here is some of the inspiration I am drawing from while I dream about our new kitchen. The awesome stove, Lola, is the starting point for what I hope will one day be a vintage inspired, totally kick ass kitchen.

I am thinking of panting the pantry door with chalkboard paint for notes and grocery lists.

I really like the glass cabinets in this picture. I think they would brighten up the small room.

An old screen door leading to the backyard would match the outside of the house...

I haven't gotten a good look at the sink in the garage yet, but I am hoping it will look something like this:

a cool sink

I love the idea of having all old mismatched dishes - not only are they bright and cheerful, you don't have to worry about breaking one and ruining the set.

I love coloured appliances, they are so very retro...

maybe some sunny yellow

Some vintage dish clothes and hand towels would cheer up the space... plus the added bonus of a knitting project!

I want to do a small curtain over the sink, and there is another window on the opposite wall. I think some retro fabric would be a kitschy touch.

dick and jane!

As I said before, I like big plans - luckily I also enjoy a project. I have a feeling turning this kitchen into a great space will be a project and a half. I have always wanted a bright and cheerful kitchen, something fun and functional. I think we will be able to turn this into a fantastic space.
