I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We took a family vacation over to The Wildlife Safari, visited with a guy my husband went to college with who lived nearby and then drove over to the Oregon coast. The weather was beautiful on Sunday and we just took out time driving home along Hwy 101 all the way down the coastline. Very pretty scenery.
I want to continue with our home tour which I started a while back and you can view here. Today I'm going to feature my kitchen and on Friday I will show you the breakfast area which is connected. We didn't have quite enough room to have an island, but I use an old table in the middle and since we have a smaller table and chairs in the breakfast area didn't feel we needed the extra seating anyway. Our cupboards are bead board painted a creamy white and our counters are made from wood. I love my large old fashioned sink. We moved our white appliances from our other house since they were fairly new at the time, but I would really like to get stainless steel appliances someday. I'll add that to my wish list(haha). There is plenty of room for my white pitcher collection above my cupboards and I like to have old ironstone and brown transferware here and there for decorations. Enjoy! xoxo K.

Very nice! I love your ironstone and pitcher collections.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen! I love the beadboard cabinets and the farmhouse sink! What a nice bright kitchen to hang out in. I'm doing a facelift on my kitchen as we speak. I'm almost finished I'll post pics of mine soon.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen! It is very much my style. The table in the center works great and I like the charm it gives to the kitchen. And the wrought iron table and chair are perfect too!!

Hey Kathleen...I love what you have done in the kitchen. Just wondering about how you did the wood countertops? In my old house, we just glued 6" pine boards on top of the formica. My current home has the ugliest formica and I can't wait to do something to them. Your pics have inspired me to try to get something started. I love the beadboard cabinets also. Great job!!

ReplyDeleteyour kitchen is gorgeous...i love how all of your wire and metal accent pieces work with the white for a truly lovely look...thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your Kitchen! I'm so.. glad you have wood countertops! I've been pushing for wood on everything but the island (That will be zinc) And now I can show your kitchen pictures to my husband and my cabinet maker...They both think I'm nuts for wanting wood! I also like the white on white appliances they kind of blend in to your gorgeous cabinets. blessings to you...dj

Kathleen, your home exudes sooooooo much warmth and love...anyone would feel welcome in it,and that is the biggest compliment we can get or give isn't it?!?! Stunning,just stunning!!! Talk soon,Chrissy
ReplyDeleteBuonasera Kathleen, love the mix of white and rustique. Every piece is my favorite but extra delizioso is the sink and the small rustique top table in the middle of the kitchen. I am working on my "white wednesday" and I think I will do the workshop. Ciao Rita
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful home. I love your kitchen. My favorite is your corner sink...adorable. And your decorating style is to die for! I love it!!
Have a wonderful 1st day of autumn.
Hugs,

Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteLove your kitchen, I have a white classic kitchen too. Do you cut or chop on your wood countertops? There is a constant debate at my house about that (my hubby says no, but I use them as chopping surfaces anyway. When he starts cooking me meals, then he can do it his way.!!!)
Anyway, I like your space, seems very efficient, warm and really pretty. Love your collection on top of the cabinets.
You might enjoy seeing the pictures of my kitchen redo which I posted last week.
Looking forward to this week's White Wed. See you again soon!

I love white kitchens...mine is white, too, and I would gladly trade you my stainless steel appliances for your white ones! They are pretty, but need constantly cleaning of fingerprints! Looking forward to seeing your nook on Friday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous kitchen, Kathleen! I love your white cabinets, the beadboard, your beautiful collections, and the great table/island. I'll have to go back to see the beginning of your home tour! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKathy
What a wonderful place to cook up those warm winter meals gathering the family together. Love the vintage chippy accents tucked here and there and always love to see those roomy country sinks.
ReplyDeleteAlso enjoyed looking through your birdcage, birdhouse collection...very nice.
Warm and cozy Wednesday wishes ;-)
Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteI love the small table as an island. I have the same issue, galley style kitchen. You gave me a great idea & something to hunt for at Round Top. Love all of the little displays on the counter also. Can't wait for more. Lisa
Hi Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteI love your white kitchen; especially the beadboard! I plan to paint mine white one of these days. I love the table as an island and your collection above the cabinets too. I am participating in your White Wednesday today for the first time. Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful White Wednesday.
Blessings,
Sandi
Your kitchen rocks!! And don't be tempted by the stainless steel appliances. (Such a waste of money!) Your white ones look fab. Thanks for sharing. Love it!
ReplyDeleteYou have a fabulous kitchen. It is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSandy
You have my dream kitchen--farmhouse styling and everything painted white--I am so far from that, but someday we will have the time to tackle it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your kitchen!
I absolutly love your kitchen..WOW! I noticed right off that clock with the black face...oh my ..brought back memories..my parents had one and I grew up looking at it..funny not paying attention one bit to it then. Well I have to go look more at your blog. You can check mine out if you want. I paint roses on old stuff. Sally
ReplyDeleteOh I meant to make a comment on your sweet Max. So sorry. He looks so darling..We just had to put our Hank down in March..I still grieve over him. He was just like our child. Hugs Sally
