White Kitchen Accents

I love the look of an all white kitchen, but my kitchen is just three years old so there's no changing it now.

The cupboards are dark cherry and my chairs, stools and counter tops are black.

Even with two skylights and three big windows it still seems dark, so I've made all my accents white to brighten things up a bit.

This table and little cabinet were a chippy green.

I painted them last week with a fresh coat of white.

This shelf was made by a friend years ago and was also green.

The display box was found in a barn a long time ago and had been green as well.

There are white ironstone dishes here and there.

A pretty white apron.

There are many more white accents throughout the kitchen and it is a much brighter room now.

I think when I paint the walls next time they will be white too.

That should be all it needs to really brighten things up.

See ya soon.

Nesting

August is a nesting month for me.

Cleaning, organizing, and preparing for the long, cold months ahead.

It feels like Fall here already, with temps in the 40's last night.

Anyway, while working in my kitchen, I noticed that there are quite a few birds nesting there as well.

There's this chippy, vintage, ceramic chicken.

It has a hook on the bottom for hanging towels or pot holders.

There's also this cute little ceramic pie bird.

I don't bake many pies, but it looks cute sitting on the shelf.

Here's another chicken.

And another.

And a sweet little bird.

No wonder I feel like nesting.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Is anybody else nesting?
