Cottage Kitchen Things


I do not have a big, beautiful designer kitchen.  I'm such a coward to show you the current "before" pictures as we are creating my little cottage~kitchen~dream~~BUT~~


~~soon I'll be brave enough to show you the wood "tongue and groove" ceiling we put in~~my little 1930's red~topped island~~and my favorite little 3~tier shelf above my cooking stove~~


~~no~~I don't have a beautiful kitchen.  I have an old house that says "love me as you can"~~I've made it comfy and cottage~y.  And I'm going to picture my little dream kitchen soon (as soon) as I get over the "it's not beautiful to blog about".
  I love it anyway~~


And here's my favorite little things I just found to put on my white~cottage~y 3 tier shelf~~I'm scared and excited to share.  Isn't that ridiculous?

Just sayin~~

Have a great week and see you on the next post!

  2. I am sure your kitchen is going to be fabulous! I can't wait to see it. I already love these vintage kitchen tools, the sifter is darling. Lots of delicious baking started with flour in that sifter, xo

  4. I live in an old house, too, and our kitchen is not at all a "designer" kitchen. In fact, nothing in my house really says "designer." And that's what I love about it. I love quirky interiors that look like they evolved over time. Of course, I appreciate the beauty of "decorated" rooms, but it's not really my style. Character and comfort -- that's what our home is about.

  5. I like the "love me as I am" motto. I used to live in a 1960 ranch and moved into a brand new 2004 ranch. It just doesn't feel like home. The kitchen especially. I am trying to make it reflect my personality but it isn't working out. I can't wait to see what you have done.~Ames

  7. I love the red/country cottage look. I was once a collector of the white and red enamelware and combined it wih the very finds that you have here. I miss that kitchen! Can't wait to see!

  8. My kitchen is very very dated...I still have metal cabinets! But I love it...including the 'running board' sink! Can't wait to see yours.

    Naturally, I love old kitchen gadgets and mine is full of them.

  9. Love these treasures. I don't have a designer kitchen either, but I love it the way it is. Create your cottage kitchen and love it. NEVER be ashamed ;-)
