Kitchen Decor Change

April 27/10

Little by little my kitchen is slowly being transformed into “my style”.

In the first picture you see the first attempt at the transformation. I don’t like the look of the white MDF cupboards (or whatever they are) and I want a rustic looking kitchen. By removing the doors and placing my antique bread boxes and tins inside the cupboard I was able to compromise until I was able to do something different.

While on a roadtrip with my sister-in-law we found this perfect table (ok, it would have been more perfect if it was an antique .. and even MORE perfect if it had come from my ancestors…) but, I’ll take what I can get.

So, in the second photo the table has the bread boxes and tins on the shelf. (I also see a pop bottle that I’m saving to use in my garden this next month. I guess it got away from me the other day.)

What you can’t see in the photo is that the first shelf covered up the lower part of the window—why?? why?? why???!!! and now I have full access to the window! YIPPEE.

The first cupboard is now sitting by our patio door, holding boots, tools and equipment that never got farther than inside the door.. argh .. now—all put away nicely!

To be honest, I really don’t care about decorating (or housekeeping for that matter) but I am enjoying transforming my house using antiques and family “heirlooms”.
