Last week I finished painting the kitchen. Actually, I finished repainting the kitchen. Ivan and I made our first bad colour choice with the original colour we chose for the kitchen. We really wanted yellow but the colour we picked ended up looking neon! We picked a new colour, started over and now I love the colour! It is a really pretty golden colour that matches the yellow in the wall tiles.
I thought it would be fun to share a few peeks from our kitchen so far. It is not completely perfect by any means but I like showing in progress shots.
Today I am off to look at getting a pretty little Christmas tree. I can't wait to show you guys once it is all up and decorated! Usually I am a bit lazy about decorating for holidays but I am so excited to do it this year. Having a house is fun!

Your Pyrex display is amazing. My fiance's Christmas list is made up for several different vintage Pyrex goodies. The "Forest Fancies" is one of them! :)
ReplyDeleteThat calender is simple adorable, by the way. Have a good day!

I love your kitchen! The yellow is so quaint and pretty, and that cabinet is AMAZING! I pretty much love any kind of display that's recessed into the wall :) I need to find a calendar like that!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice in wall color! I love your pyrex as well..so awesome that you have a cabinet like that!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you put in between the bowls when stacking them..I like that you can see each of them!
Your kitchen is looking gorgeous. I LOVE the pyrex and the calendar, not to mention how cute and colorful those pots are. I look forward to see how it looks when you finish it. Have an awesome week.
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen looks so good! I love the calendar! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the decorations!
Looks great! Adore those cute pans<3
ReplyDeleteOh...get a white christmas tree. I got this adorable white christmas tree from a store in Toronto.
ReplyDeleteElycia, it's sooooo pretty! That colour is perfect, I don't think I would choose it from a paint chip but it's so nice on the walls. Good work, lady! I don't think I can comment on the Pyrex display without being overcome by jealousy ;)

I love it all! Did make the towels that are, presumably, hanging on your stove?
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I totally fell in love with your wood calendar!
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen! My favorite part is definitely your owl knick knacks!
ReplyDeleteThat built-in is great! I have a couple pieces of that olive green pyrex. I've been on the hunt for the pink and light blue pieces (they're my fav!). And what a unique calendar -- I've never seen anything like that!

I love all the Pyrex and owls! You're doing such a great job decorating, I can't wait to see your holiday stuff!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love the golden color! Can't wait to see more. :)
ReplyDeleteSo colorful! My mom has those mushroom bowls :)
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen looks amazing!!! I really want to be able to decorate a whole house by myself, but for now I guess I'll just have to stick to the dollhouse in my closet ;) I love the yellow color! It's so warm and lovely =) I actually saw one of those mushroom pyrex in a second hand store the other day, and thought of you!

silly questions- what did you put in the pyrex dishes to make them stand up like that? where on earth did you find that fondue set? share your secrets please!

I can't believe you have an orange and yellow one. so pretty!
I love love love your pyrex collection :)
ReplyDeletethanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteI am going to put together a little "how I did it" post on stacking pyrex. As for the "fondue set" I think they are just two different pots that happen to look like a set when I stack them. They have different handles so they definitely don't match. My mom thought they were a double boiler thing when she saw them. I got both of them at a thrift shop.
I love it!! The colours remind me so much of my "childhood" kitchen!! awesome! I just want to curl up and have a coffee in there :)! Good work!
ReplyDeletei wish i could live in your kitchen sorrounded by all your lovely vintage treasures.

la petite pomme verte, i didn't make those but i'm thinking of making some more that are similar! Those were actually an adorable shower gift!
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen looks great! I admire you repainting- I chose a green that ended up a tad more neon then I wanted but was way too lazy to redo it for now. (cough, cough... 3 years...)
ReplyDeleteCute! The built in displays your collection nicely.
ReplyDeleteThe color is lovely! The owls are so cute :)
ReplyDeleteIs that a double-boiler?? I had no idea that those things existed pre-made...I usually just put a large bowl over a small pot. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely!! :) Yellow is such a tough color to choose...we painted our living room yellow once, and it took *so* many coats, too! Yours is a lovely mustard shade...I've been looking for one - do you mind sharing what brand/shade it is?
ReplyDeleteMichelle, it is Behr 'Solar Fusion'. We got a paint and primer in one type of paint and it covered well in 2 coats :)
ReplyDeletei love those white flowers. those are just the kind i need as i seem to kill every plant that comes my way. thanks for sharing! <3
ReplyDeleteThat yellow is very cheerful :) Love all the pretty little details too. The handtowels are adorable, the pyrex is great! Great work all around.
