Nice colours and some pretty items in Whoops a daisy’s kitchen
Love the worktop colour in this kitchen
No more new
I’d really like to try and furnish our new house with old/unwanted furniture, not just because by the time we’ve done all the necessary renovation stuff we’ll have no money left for anything new, but also because I want unique pieces that I can add our stamp to. So far I’ve managed to acquire a kitchen dresser, daybed and matching drawers all from my sister, who’s having a complete clear out. Think we’ll probably end up painting it white as it’s quite a large piece. The daybed and drawers are ikea hemnes in white, should just about fit in the small bedroom.
It’s not even close to Christmas but…
this is what I want Christmas to look like in my kitchen dining room this year (preferably this year fingers crossed)
Kitchen inspiration
Loving the idea of a white/ivory, turquoise and red kitchen/dining room. I’m not brave enough to have red or turquoise kitchen units however, think they’ll be predominately white or ivory. Mr W wants a completely wood kitchen but I’m worried it’ll be too dark and not work as well with the red turquoise colours, maybe he’ll prove me wrong. We’ve already knocked two of the downstairs rooms into one and plan on having the kitchen up one end and a nice big dining table up the other. These are some pics that have caught my eye:
shiny red retro phone ❤
I’d like a island breakfast bar, perhaps not as big as this one in the space we have
Definitely, definitely want the cooker, whether red, white or otherwise to live in the chimney breast, with a shelf above.
The house before
These are some photos of the house just before we purchased it in November 2010. It was full of old furniture and original fireplaces. Sadly the previous owner arranged for a house clearance so all the furniture went, but we still have the fireplaces and a large suspended clothes maid.
