Leila writes the most amazing posts about keeping house, all things important in the home and also offers some great advice on raising children. Please allow yourself sometime to read her blog.
I have been waiting for the right moment to do a kitchen post and well I guess it just falls right into place now.
My kitchen is small but practical...... Oven on the left, sink in the middle, dishwasher to the right and fridge just an arms length behind me. It is by far my most favourite room in the house. It is situated right Smack Bang in the middle of my house and adjoins our main living area.
My day starts and ends here....
- Good Morning Kisses with my husband
- Lunchboxes made and packed for my school children
- Lunchbox and thermos made and packed for Hubby
- Breakfast prepared for the little ones

- At least once a week I also Bake....
- I also keep all my daily "To Do" list on the Fridge, my calender, my shopping list and all my school notes...
- This is the place where my children come to talk to me, cook with me, spend time with me.
- It is the last room I leave when I go out as I grab last minute food and water for the little ones,
- It's the first room I enter when I get home, usually to put the kettle on ready for my next coffee...
The Old Wood Stove... now my fruit bowl shelf and potato keeper
Centre stage, not the most practical item to be sitting in the middle of my living room but the favourite of my collection...
My Kitchen is a very busy but organised place.....
Very pretty, neat, and tidy! Love all those vintage things you have!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining us!
Oh it looks and sounds wonderful!!!!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful stove
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice kitchen! (And by the way, I love the chicken pictures on your sidebar. We recently moved and are chickenless for the moment... I did not realize how much I would miss them!!)
ReplyDeleteWant to trade? :)
ReplyDeleteI love your stove also - they really do bring something special into a home. I have just found an old vintage wooden ladder(after lots of searching!) which we are going to hang in the vicinity of our Stanley stove. In winter it will be a drying rack for clothes as I already have a pot hanger. Kitchens truly are the heart of a home.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love windows over sinks? I like the hits of red in your kitchen, so cheery (my kitchen color too)!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Loved this post.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I absolutely love your kitchen, I love the style as I too collect vintage kitchen items....although I don't have as many as you....I hope you don't mind, but I am pinching this idea for your utensils hanger....need to dig that old ladder out of the garden and see if it can be upcycled in the kitchen above the sink....I have always wanted one, but never found one I really like until now.....I especially love that the timber matches your other kitchen furniture.....
ReplyDeleteLove your blog...keep up the good work.

Wow, Karen! I just discovered your blog and love it! Everything is so close to my heart. I am hooked. I love your Blog header with all the photos. How did you do that? Was it hard? I would love to do something like that to spruce up mine. Thank you and keep up the great posts!
