I am giving you an unauthorized
peak at a friend's home - so keep quiet and look quickly, will ya? I love her entire home - most of which she remodeled herself. Oh, she had help - but this gal can pull out the house innards, scrap off the paint, and then recreate the space into a heavenly place to inhabit. She can then sew the curtains for a finishing touch.
Everywhere you look in the kitchen are prime examples of the best of the past. My friend not only collects
vintage, she lives it.
The haphazard stacking of Pyrex bowls is like a corner
dream of color. I like to hang out in the kitchen. Lots of good food gets made there. It smells good. I feel at home.
Flowers get treated to an old tin can pitcher in lieu of a vase. I am thankful whenever I have a chance to go and spend time at the this
yesteryear cottage. Scrolling back to catch the best of what has already gone and reliving it once again.
Oh, I wish I had that kind of flair when decorating... Loved that chocolate cake, too, from your previous post! I bet it was delicious!! :) Silke

ReplyDeleteThe tootfairy is still AWOL.. and i've just gotten a look at your creations on the webshop (inducing more toothace because of cutness factor).. I'm going to curl up and die if I cant get that little cupcake hat for future (dont have any yet) sproggs. Its gorgeouse. More stuff, more pixies!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely kitchen - I like the vintage colours - that green-blue and the mustardy yellows.
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell your friend I'm ready to move in whenever she likes? I promise to cook delicious goodies in thanks for being surrounded by so much gorgeousness.
ReplyDeletethis is like a vintage version of better homes and gardens.. vintage stuff has soul, I reckon.
