Kitchen Design Details

Sometimes it is hard to visualize all of the components 

of a project and how they will work together

Which is why

 I always do numerous project boards

  

When I put an item on the board I immediately know whether

 it is going to work or not

& and if not....delete!

I chose the Thermadore Dual Fuel

6 burner 

I know...it was a safe choice 

but this is a gorgeous stove

 I ended up purchasing the vintage French granite ware pendants 

but almost bought 

the aqua safety glass beauty below

 guess what?  When I included it into the mix on the project board

it looked really odd

so...delete

We are using a mix of stone for the counters

Some will be carrera and some will be soapstone

Our floors throughout the house are 

reclaimed pine

I think it is important to inclued your floor choice

 when making big design descisions

 This kitchen is really very modern

but remember I have lots of great vintage goodies

 to toss in at the end

Here is my completed project board

for your consideration!

Vintage Kitchen Canisters

 These wonderful vintage enamel canisters are so appealing and fun.

They have dozens of uses in the kitchen, bathroom, as office storage and even in the baby's nursery

This old german bread box says "Give us this day, our daily bread"

Something about the shaker simplicity of the plain grey is very appealing, I think

You can find these in so many shapes and sizes and the prices are relatively low

It might be fun to mix in a canister with great graphics

This little blue one is so tattered and worn...I love it

Pink for the baby's nursery...this would be great for diapers

A collection of mixed shapes and colors maybe?

A big blue fish poacher on your coffee table to hold....whatever

I actually purchased one of the items above....can you guess...?
