A Kitchen Update

Because there isn't much you can do with pressboard cupboards to make them look good, I opted for another coat of paint.  Agonizing over choosing a color scheme took a bit of time.  Once decided, removed the doors, and sanded them lightly since I didn't know how old the paint was, but it was shiny with time. Toasted Coconut, Early Spring Fawn and Flaming Red Hot are the colors. 

 In this picture, you can see the new color on the left is warmer.  
Opted to strip the layers of paint from the hinges and leave them natural. 

 This first small cupboard, I painted the back wall in red, 
thinking I will leave the door off, and use this one to showcase my Pyrex collection!

 And the real work begins, taping off the trim board, 
and beginning to disassemble the doors, paint the interior cabinets. 


 Oh boy, everything back in the cupboards!
Living with everything parked on empty surfaces
was a very long week!

 Off to the right of the kitchen is a small dining area,
and this shelf of antique this and that's got a coat
of the red trim color as well!

Boho kitchens

While its a little blurry, I like all the different
colors of what looks like Fiesta Ware
on the shelf running around the top shelf.


The purple rug on the floor, along with the 
bare board cupboard doors appeals to me.


The interest of the shelf over the window caught my eye


The open shelving combined with a large picture window
makes this a very appealing room!



There's something about open shelving in a kitchen
that seems so inviting.
Maybe because we can see the items
we own, and treasure, all the time!

Great kitchens

Casa Consuelo --- Perfect!

It isn't the pink that does it for me here, I just love these shutter doors,
they look repurposed or upcycled!







Vintage stove!

This one strikes me as being 
very natural, down to earth!



I just love some of these kitchens... they look so homey !
