Some days I just loathe living in a rental, but until I have a big girl job, or a career my dream home will have to wait. Although, I have been eager to make this house my own, I have had to do it in the form of accents. My newest venture has been the kitchen.
Since I know most, if not all of you have never seen my kitchen or have any idea of what it is like, I’ll let you in on it. At first I started out with a café theme which was real dark and had a lot of browns and maroons. It’s cute, and I may keep with the theme, but most definitely will change up the art I had hanging in my cooking domain and possibly spray paint the frames; a {DIY} project that I am excited to start. My serving platters and so forth are all white; the only splash of color comes in the form of my plates, which I am absolutely partial to, as well as the kitchen towels.
Aren't they charming?
I have had these containers sitting on my counter for years, and as much as I love them, they just are not practical.
Sorry the picture's crooked.
The openings are just too small for a cup let alone my hands to get into, so I have been looking for replacements. Not actively looking, I kind of figured if I stumble upon a set that I like, then it was meant to be, and sure enough, I found these beauties. Not only are they to die for, but they were reasonably priced! Double the awesomeness!!!
LOVE THEM!
I know the white lids are a bit of a cream color and do not exactly match the whitest of whites confetti plates I own, but I am willing to over look that small detail because they just seem so perfect. They look even better once I cleaned and filled them.
Perfection!
Now if only I could paint the walls, add a glass tiled back splash, put in new granite or marble counter tops, add an island, update the appliances, and re-tile the floors (because laminate floors stink). Okay so that's more of an overhaul/renovation rather than just decorating with accents, but a girl can dream can't she?
