I thought I would post some photos of my kitchen, as it occurred to me the other day that I have never actually shown it in its entirety.
It's a freestanding kitchen that I gradually replaced with sections of old pine dressers, this piece is actually the top part of a dresser, I added some feet to make it a standing piece.
I saw some cups like these in a book by Atlanta Bartlett. These cups were green so I spray painted them white and painted on the number with Acrylic paint. Obviously I can't use them but there nice to look at.
I intend to replace the worktop here, as soon as I see something I like, maybe wood.
There was a gap next to the cooker so a made some little shelves for storage jars, these are Kilner Jars.
Then the other side of the kitchen is my chalkboard wall. It took a while to find a little cabinet that fitted against this wall, this is a Victorian pot cupboard, probably not really appropriate in a kitchen but it has been thoroughly disinfected and it does a good job of housing all my pegs and laundry items.
Then there is the wall dresser that stores the dry food.
and then to my large white dresser where I store just about everything.

You have made all that fresh white look so cosy and characterful, not sterile in any way, the way the Scandis do! I love it all! x
ReplyDeleteYou and your kitchen are ah-mazing.
ReplyDeleteEach and every piece is a thing of beauty.
How can you keep such a white kitchen so clean?
I don't think I could cook in there. I'd just swann around.

Your kitchen is just perfect. Looks like it belongs in a magazine or book... you should definitely get it featured. The best thing about it, is that it's unique... not off the shelf... beautiful! Have a great weekend! Lx

ReplyDeleteoh, its just beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis should be a magazine. So absolutely charming what you've created. Really lovely!
ReplyDeleteI agree with previous commenters this should be in a book...it's magnificant!
ReplyDeleteLook at your cute little stove! I love your kitchen. My favorite part is all of the furnature.
ReplyDeleteWow!! I'm envious of your white, clean, beautiful kitchen. So cozy and quaint!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, so charming and adore the simplicity of it all. I agree with Urban Cottage...it should be in a magazine or a book like Hostess said.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen has so much character...absolutely adorable.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous kitchen!! I love how you used vintage furniture, it really makes a wonderful statement in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a beautiful weekend.
Sincerely,
Melinda
I Love Love your sweet kitchen!! It should be in a magazine! You did a lovely job of putting all the antique cabinets into use and your decor is perfect. I'm going to take a look around your blog now. Blessings, Pamela from Canada
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa, yes I did make the hook board, I just painted on the numbers and then sanded the whole thing.. and yes I painted all the units, I've always used Jasmine white in satin by Dulux x
ReplyDeleteHi Deborah,
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen looks lovely! I have been scrolling through your pictures several times now.....Love the combination of old and new, all the whites, the light. It's simply beautiful and must be a joy to work in!
Have a lovely weekend!
Madelief x
great great looking home
ReplyDeleteI love the rustic and warm feel due to the mismatched pieces of furniture that you have...
And your eye for arrangement is fabulous
Your kitchen is adorable. I love kitchens like this. I think the big mega kitchens are beautiful and all, but yours, is so charming and any one would feel right at home. Thanks for sharing all your clever ideal. Richard from My Old Historic House. PS. Did you drop by my blog for my free give away this week? Still have time, as today is the last day.
ReplyDeleteI do love your style! you've done such a wonderful job of assembling this simple but oh so beautiful room. :) Diane
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I just love it. Free-standing kitchens are my favourite kind. Yours is so charming. Love the table with the wooden top and all your lovely cupboards. Many thanks for the kind comments Deborah, have a wonderful weekend, love Linda x
ReplyDeleteThis kitchen belongs in a magazine. I love the vintage nature of it. Your pieces are so well put together. Come over and enter my giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous kitchen! I'm in love with every bit of it. The unique and vintage pieces really stand out. I just love that hutch top you added legs to. Wonderful job!!!
ReplyDelete- Susan
Oh my goodness, I love it!! This may seem silly, but my favorite part is the little space next to the stove where you build shelves! I have a skinny space like that with nothing in it... I think I'll have to borrow this idea!! :)
ReplyDeleteTania
Wow! Thanks for showing us your simply charming kitchen. I could work very nicely in it. What did Carolyn say, it should be in a magazine. She's right.
ReplyDeleteIt's so refreshingly cool and calm. Makes me want to stop by every afternoon for a cup of tea! I'll take #5, please!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog and I just adore it =)! Love your kitchen! Have a lovely weekend! Xoxoxo 1942charm.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI like the look you have created in your kitchen, it is charming.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutly gorgeous!!! You have such great style, I love it:)
ReplyDeletei love your free standing kitchen, and although its white its still warm and inviting. where's your sink?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your support Deborah and good luck. I think your idea of styling the number in a vignette is smashing.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is spectacular! I love the whiteness of it all with a touch of colour; thank you so much for sharing those inspiring photographs with us.
ReplyDeletereally beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the table!
ReplyDeleteI also love the little hanging fabric bit under the bench. I have never actually seen a kitchen with one of those in it and it just reminds me so much of 101 dalmations. As a kid I saw this movie and peridita had all her puppies there. This is what I equate it to. haha. It's immediately associated with that scene in my mind so it's extra cute!
absolutley charming!! love your kitchen.
ReplyDeletejoan
I'm delighted that you've given us a tour of your kitchen. It is fabulous! I've featured your blog today at stylesson. I look forward to seeing more!
ReplyDeleteDeborah - it is fabulous! It is so fresh and elegant. Sinead
ReplyDeleteI agree with some of the girls above... your kitchen belongs in a magazine and I know just the one...whilst in Denmark this weekend I bought a Jeanne d' Arc mag...(unfortunately it's in Danish)..but your kitchen would fit in beautifully to the lovely light Scandinavian look...just gorgeous Deb! I especially love the freestanding adapted dresser top which you have tiled and placed next to the cooker! Robx
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen. It is like a trip back in time. So cool how that green scale pops amongst all the white. Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteSimply Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeletesuch great style~
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is heavenly. I just had a kitchen makeover and I have the same mini range as you in cream and you live in my favourite part of the country so I just had to follow!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your kitchen is absolutely amazing!! I am your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteLovely to hear from you Deborah. I live in Bushey, nr Watford. I'm so enjoying going through your posts. I jut love The Bell Jar in Norwich. I was practically hyperventilating when I first found it on a visit there! Holt is another favourite haunt of mine.
ReplyDeleteHi Deborah,
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon you blog and am so glad I did! It's just lovely. And, your kitchen is beautiful. 'm happy to be a new follower.
-Lynn
You have a truly inspiring blog and a new follower!
ReplyDeleteThat is SUCH a sweet and darling space. I love it.
ReplyDeleteHi Deborah!
ReplyDeleteI just happen to stumble upon your beautiful blog for the first time and I'm totally enchanted and so happy that I found you! Nice to meet you btw, I'm Carola from Boxwood Cottage in Germany.
Your kitchen is simply to die for and so is your gorgeous garden. I'll be happily browsing through your older posts now and bookmark your blog I wont loose it again.
Sending you warmest High Summer wishes from a very rainy Nothern Germany
Carola
P.S. I just had to pin some of your lovely pictures on my pinterest boards!
Oh this is absolutely DIVINE! I adore your scrubbed pine table, the colour of the antique wood looks so gorgeous against the white paint. I also absolutely love your cupboard with the curtain (I have a thing about cupboard curtains)!!! Your styling is so pretty too, but then I expect nothing less having seen the rest of your gorgeous blog! Hugs from a farmhouse in Lincolnshire - Glenda xxxxx
ReplyDeleteI love your freestanding kitchen! I would love to do that, but alas, I have a tiny 8 ft. by 8 ft. kitchen, so we will have to use conventional cabinetry. Such a shame because I see SO many used vintage kitchen cabinets for sale on our local craigslist (Minneapolis). Yesterday, I saw a wonderful vintage pine corner unit with glass uppers and they were giving it away (as well as other pine kitchen cabinets) if someone would just dismantle and haul away. So sad for me! Your cottage is charming! I have just discovered it through Miss Mustard Seed.
ReplyDeleteHi Deborah, I love everything about your kitchen! I visited from MMS, and I loved it so much, I just had to look at your other pages. I only wish I could drop over for tea...
ReplyDeleteYou blog is fabulous! Thank you for sharing your kitchen with us all. It is so wonderfully charming. It makes me want to live in a cottage.
ReplyDeleteJust one question though, where is your sink? lol
Melanie
Hi Debs, glad you enjoyed the pics. Many thanks for your comments. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, love Linda x
ReplyDeleteLooove your kitchen and the cottage feeling :)
ReplyDeleteCharming kitchen! Nice to see a put-together free-standing kitchen that is ultimately so functional.
ReplyDeleteLooks so nice I'd be afraid to cook in it and mess it up!! I'm sure you're a much neater cook than I am. Visiting from post of the month.
ReplyDeletevery cute-love how bright it is-always good for a rainy day in England!
ReplyDeleteMe again, calling by from Post of the Month Club. :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love! Love how you creatively used furniture to make it cozy. It is so light and bright. I'd never leave if I came for a visit!
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely. My fave is the two cups that you spray painted and added the letters to...what fun. Thanks for joining HH UK for the Post of the Month...I enjoyed stopping by...
ReplyDeleteThis really is so charming. Well done. Popping over from Laura's. J x
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen looks so simple, yet fascinating! The vintage details are striking, especially the design of the wall clock area! That helps you monitor the time while cooking food, right? That's a great view!
ReplyDeleteKalona Mincey
