Spread some Christmas cheer...

::kitchen envy::

I guess I have a thing for kitchens...

The neat lighting, plenty of green chairs and a long table for friends + family, and lots of cement. I love those numbers on the oven too...especially the sixes.

::a place to cook::

I absolutely love this kitchen. It's a little bit industrial, a little country + ample white space. The open shelving and storage makes it look very home-y. It's just perfect (minus the hanging saw).

::do it yourself // yellow utensils::

You may have seen this picture (or one like it) running around Pinterest. This was on the top of my "to make list" and I love how they turned out. Now, I'm on the lookout for a set of jars so they don't have to hide in a drawer.

I found this set at a local thrift store for like $5. The floral pattern on the handle sold me. All it takes is a set of silverware, spray paint, painter's tape + clear spray sealer. I chose a mustard yellow color that works well with everything I own. 

Prepping was the time consuming part. Wrapping each top with painter's tape is easy, but being a perfectionist, I wanted to make sure the tape lined up evenly on each side. Two coats of paint + sealer later, I unwrapped them like it was Christmas. 

On to the next project!

::porcelain pattern::

A utensil that toasts a pretty, porcelain pattern onto your bread. How classy.

::decorate // vintage kitchen::

I've got decorating on my mind.

Jumping from dorms and apartments through college, I've never had an optimal place to cook/bake. One day, I'll have my dream kitchen and decorate with vintage {and vintage-inspired} housewares and decor. These are just a few that caught my eye.
