A Kitchen Redo

I don’t plan on redoing my kitchen/dining room anytime soon. But if I ever do, I will use Etsy to plan it and to stock it. I’ve put together a treasury for a red and turquoise kitchen. It’s so bright and cheery and has a farmhouse look to it.

The treasury has lots of vintage linens. If you’ve read my prior blog entry, you will have seen that I used pillowcases to make coverings for my dining room chairs. That’s why I included two sets of pillowcases in this treasury. I like the idea of coverings, but I also like the idea of mixing and matching them with the two sets. I’m thinking about using the red striped tablecloth as roman shades and the rose damask tablecloth as curtain panels with the roman shades. I’m currently doing something similar in my bedroom now with a rose damask tablecloth I purchased on Etsy. Then, I would use the red crochet trim on the bottom of the roman shades. My other thought for window coverings is to use the roses tablecloth as roman shades and then use the set of floral vintage linens as valances.

The linen tea towels I would use for the purpose they’re intended. I love draping vintage tea towels on the handle of my oven. I would also use the placemats and runners for their intended purpose, on my table.

I can just see the red wing pottery bowl filled with red apples. And the cherry wall hangings will pop on the walls which I’d paint in a light turquoise color. I have white cabinets and appliances and have no plans to change those, because I love the clean look they give a kitchen. One thing I love to do is to replace knobs and handles to match my décor, so I’ll use the turquoise knobs for another pop of color.

At this point, I’ve almost talked myself into redoing my rooms. :) I guess I’ll just have to find someone who will allow me to redo their kitchen.
