Kitchen - 9 things
Not been posting up much lately and no dolly inspiration, so as I'm sitting on the laptop in my kitchen, this idea came to me!
**SEE MY BLOG FOR LINKS** hellorach.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/9-things-kitchen.html
1. I have a whole shelf of cookery books, I have to admit I haven't tried out half the recipes in them, but I get inspiration from them and some of them have a lot of stuff to read in them as well as the recipes!
2. My dad died a few years ago from leukaemia - this little corner of my kitchen has his photo and 2 little Matthew Rice boxes I bought for him, one of which now contains some of his ashes - the rest have been scattered.
3. My kitchen table - I would hate to have a kitchen without room for a table. It's often the warmest room in the house when the oven is on and where I sit to use my laptop and have meals with family when they are over. The Cath Kidston mushroom stuff was presents for Christmas and I love white pepper on my lunches - so unfashionable, but I don' t care! - so I need a pepper pot for it and these couldn't be cuter!
4. I have run out of cupboard space now, so keep my plates and bowls on shelves in the kitchen, I have a real thing for crockery and these stacks are all Emma Bridgewater and Cath Kidston.
5. I have some Eames style coat hooks in the kitchen for my bag collection (the bright multi coloured balls one, but at a bargain price of just £5)...I'm not really a bag person, so it's pretty modest, I just can't be bothered to swap the contents over!
6. More plates and bowls, the cat ones are by Disaster Designs and there's also a matching egg cup...designed for kids, but we care not a jot about that eh ;)
7. Just a random shot of the dishwasher :D I have a mini dishwasher that is suitable for just 1 or 2 people...I wouldn't have bothered buying one as I live on my own, but it was my mum's and so I inherited it when she got a new bigger one. I don't use it everyday, but it's really handy when I've an extra lot of dishes :)
8. I LOVE my terribly unfashionable mug tree :D I've shown it before with the mugs on, but they are all in the wash today! I got it from John Lewis and each mug HAS to go on the right hook! Yes, I'm a little bit OCD ;)
9. Last but not least, I also have a real thing for tea towels! I have a whole stack of Cath Kidston tea towels, there's just something about a nicely ironing pile of them, they get lovely and soft as they get older and it's a cheap way of bringing some pretty prints into the kitchen :)
Well, I hope you enjoyed this, it was kind of fun and I think I'll do one for the living room next. Hope you've had a good weekend :) xx
