More pics of my cottage kitchen.

I wanted to take this opportunity to post some more pictures of my kitchen. This is my "hutch" I could not find an afforable hutch so I took a green table I already had and painted it white and added the top of a BATHROOM organizer that I got from Target (Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Collection) The base of the bathroom oraganizer was really skinny since it's meant to go above a toilet, hehe so I have that in my livingroom right when you walk in. I think it's a good temporary fix till I can find me my dream cottage farm house white hutch :) I would like to add that my good friend Steph (Shabby Girl) made me that cupcake sign as a gift she also gave me the Jenny Heid Holiday girl print which I double framed myself. The rest of the things you see are my crafts that I created. =D

No wasted space....I love how my cabinets have this lil cute shelf on the corner, it's perfect for displays. The pitcher in the middle is also a gift from my sweet friend Steph. The cute vintage salt n pepper shakers are from my mom.
My lil eating area....it's the PERFECT size for our small family, it's jusy my hubby, our son and myself so there is no need at the moment for a large table. :)
I LOVE old doors! I was so happy when I went to one of my fave local antique shops and found this door for only 30 bucks! And of course I could not resist hanging stuff off it :) The cute cupcake towels where a gift from my sweet friend Jen (MermaidSparkle) Aren't they ABORABLE!?
That is an actual working phone, I got at Toys R Us, I added that vintage looking pic in it just to spice it up ;) If you look on the bottom by the door you will see an old pickle jar...it belong to my Grandmother who passed away a few years back (Feb 2005) she use to make sun tea in it.
My cozy eating area. :)
Why is there a sofa chair in my kitchen? Why not? ;) I belive that the heart of the home should be as cozy and comfy as the rest of the house. And my hubby John loves to watch me cook while sitting in that comfy chair. I also do some light reading from that chair.

Eventually we are going to get the matching stainless steel stove and dishwasher.
QUEEN OF THE KITCHEN! I painted the stove burner covers pink. And if anyone is wondering where I got a PINK coffee maker, PINK toaster and PINK microwave they are from JcPenny.com, they only sell them online. :)


THERE ARE NO RULES WHEN IT COMES TO DECORATING YOUR HOME! It's something I have to remind myself often. I know my taste is very girlie and some might think I am INSANE to have all this PINK! But I asure you that every screw in my head is on tight and the hubby doesn't mind it on bit....he says I can decorate how ever I please as long as he comes home to a clean house and dinner :) He has even told me he likes the pink, it reminds him that a WOMAN lives here ;)


This is another view of my kitchen, I also would love to change put the drawer and cabinet knobs to clear glass ones, I painted those pink for now. And of course on my wish list is granite counter tops and a white farm house sink....in due time. :)

Hey Ya'll! Just wanted to share some pics of my kitchen. This is my fave room in my home and my mission was to make it as cozy and comfy as possible. Is is bad to say that I love my kitchen? hehe ;) The cabinets before where finished in a light natural wood tone which we did not like so we painted them white and the end result is so AWESOME! Eventually we want to get the matching stainless steel stove and dishwasher.
