Cute Kitchens

Hello,

I love vintage kitchen items-hand stitched aprons, weathered scales, pretty plates, worn canisters and spice jars add a bit of charm to your kitchen. Even one whimsical vintage item can enchant an otherwise dull decor. Here's a few pics of cute vintage kitchens at the Shabby House and Antique World Mall in Boise.


Enjoy your morning cup of coffee and chocolate croissant on this adorable tiny metal table with pretty scroll work. It's small enough to fit on a front porch or apartment deck.

A weathered hutch looks great in any kitchen. You can find one for cheap at a flea market, thrift shop, or yard sale. Just sand or paint over the old color and distress the edges with fine sandpaper to show through the old color or original wood.

An red bubblegum machine can hold seasonal treats such as conversation hearts for Valentine's Day, pastel M&Ms for Easter, or chocolates for Christmas. The one below holds sea shells!

Black and white checks on anything-tile, rugs, floors-adds instant graphic appeal.

Another weathered hutch painted white with sage green drawers and trim.
Now you're cooking!
