Kitchen Updates

It's been awhile since I shared my kitchen with you.  Not much has changed, but I figured it was time to share what's new.

Ikea has all kinds of great home decor.  I love these prints!  I finished them off in Target frames.

My kitchen cabinets still bring me a lot of joy.  I get a lot questions about them via email.  We made a great decision to add moulding to the cabinets, since we could not afford to have them completely remodeled.  Although we didn't attach the moulding ourselves, I can tell you that it's 2 inches wide, purchased from Home Depot and our friend used his nail gun.  My husband and I painted the cabinets with white paint right off the shelf (Glidden) in an eggshell finish.  We didn't apply a protective coat, as I was nervous about Polycrylic yellowing over time.  But they have been easy to maintain over the years.  They wipe off easily and I use leftover paint to touch up spots from normal wear and tear as needed.

I bought this used copper teakettle from the thrift store.

We store our commonly used utensils on the counter.

We only added hardware to our lower cabinets.  The uppers have grooves underneath for easier opening and we just prefer the look!

I have been very happy with our natural fiber rugs.  With 3 dogs they still look great.  It's not recommended, but my husband cleans ours with our carpet cleaner.

My love for plants!  Sadly my maidenhair fern didn't last too long.

Thank goodness for succulents!

I love ringing the bell at dinnertime!

There are few things I love more than our barn-door inspired cabinets.

Hope you enjoyed this quick tour through my kitchen!
