Kitchen Ideas...A Little Preview

Saturday, March 26, 2011

Here's a peak at our new kitchen and a few of my ideas to lighten it up without actually painting. The green walls and wood cabinets are a bit darker than I am used to, although I really like them. Here is the "before" photo from the MLS.
Originally I thought a turquoise table like this would be great but my husband wasn't a fan...


So we opted for something colorful but a bit safer from Hurwitz Mintz.


I think Dash and Albert rugs are fantastic, so I thought this Aquinnah Woven Cotton Rug would pull in the turquoise color I love nicely...

When the boxes arrive tomorrow, I am looking forward to pulling out our cabbage dishes like these from Williams-Sonoma...perfect for Spring!



Since I am in the South, I am dedicated to trying my hand at entertaining with monogrammed linens...these from Leontine Linens are quite nice and match the color scheme...


For more punches of turquoise, I have started collecting the Le Creuset pieces in Caribbean blue. So far I only have the tea kettle but I hope to acquire a few more and start learning to make traditional New Orleans dishes in them. Plus, they look so pretty on display.
That's it for now. I have to go pack/umpack!
