Over the last little while I have rediscovered a few areas in our home and the kitchen is one of the spots I have focused on. I have also never really done a true reveal on this room so it's about time. It all started with a new set of shelves and spilled over to refinishing the fridge and even GG's coffee station got a makeover. I'm super happy with the new look and now it's time to share our little piece of heaven with you.
I found 3 matching shelves I knew I wanted to paint white
and used together. They are made of wood and were painted
dark colors which was perfect for distressing after adding
the white paint.
Our kitchen cabinets are shades of cream and we have
accented the rest of the room with white and pastels. Blues,
Yellows, Pinks, and Greens all have a place in here and we
both LOVE IT!!!

We have almost no counter space so I built an island that I do
most of our meal prep work at and it serves as the buffet
counter when we have a family get together. It has three
cabinet doors on the sink side and inside it stores all our
pantry food. I built it years ago from an old cabinet and
embellished it with lots of trim and corbels. We have two bar
stools on the opposite side that I painted in a distressed blue.
I adore this kitchen conversion sign I have hanging by the
sink because it was not mass produced but hand made right
here in Canada. I purchased it from my gal Sue at NOT 2
SHABBY in North Vancouver.

Over at GG's coffee station (his fuel of the day)
Two painted tin paneled frames hang side by side over the
back splash. I added the TEA TIME & COFFEE images.
The clock above the shelves has not changed but it was
painted. It has been with us since the first time we went
shopping together to furnish our home together.
My scale is a real vintage treasure made in England and given
to me by my mother. It is different than most of the scales I
see because it is much shallower and fits in tight places.
The new shelves are great to display my collection of
ironstone mixing bowls. They are not just to look at in my
house, I use them often. Each time I walk down the kitchen
isle in a thrift store I'm always watching for that tell tale color
of vintage off white in the shape of a little bowl. That is
where I find many pieces. When I reach out and pick one
up I feel like I just won the lottery.
