A rainy day here with a dripping garden soon to be seeded with lettuces, kale, and spinach. My cold fingers hold a hot cup of honeyed tea as I look out the window studded with raindrops onto a pale sky. I just couldn't wait for a sunny day to share pictures of the kitchen ~ so here it is!
We have been enjoying it so much. Yesterday I made Tim a few scrambled eggs with goat cheese as he sat on the stool on the other side of the counter. We chatted and I cooked and we were out of each other's way. There are still some wrinkles to iron out, but the last main thing is for me to find enough beautiful dried twists of branch to make the door handles and drawer pulls. So imagine the cupboards with those on. It has such a woodsy feel in there. And the green is called Camping Green.

Thanks Barb!! :) It is so much fun to be in. SO much brighter and bigger too.
whoa- that is one beautiful kitchen! (i'm a little bit jealous..:)
I'm just sitting here going OH! and then OH! and so on...with each one getting higher in tone. The colours, the so pleasing curves of the arch, Mimi :~), the records, well I could go on and on. It looks happy. Have you danced and spun around and around in it? You and Tim have great taste....the green works so well.
We use found wood for handles here too, driftwood though...I'll take photos.
OH. My. WOrd. This is a gorgeous kitchen! I am very jealous indeed!

Camping green is such a perfect choice for you! It looks really good.

Thank you so much, everyone!!! We are LOVING it ~ It's hard to believe it's almost done. :)
The lunar calendar is from here: http://www.theoriginallunarphase.com/
I found it some time ago through Soulemama.
Jojo ~ I'll make the twig pulls by cutting lengths of branch to size and pre-drilling through the doors into them. Kind of like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/icarusdesign/4121945537/
Unless...Helen, do you still find driftwood pieces on the beach?? Have any extras? Fantastic idea! I'm going to start looking in our local river for water-carved wood.
Jen ~ and a bit of sauteed spinach goes well with it...
Fiona ~ we weren't sure about the green until we saw it up. I wasn't sure what it would do for our appetites but it's quite fresh and clean looking and we like it. That wall was tomato red before so the green is a big change. It already seems like it's been like that always!
im drooling.
incredible. i would have never thought to use such bright springtime colors!
lovely kitchen! love the colours, everything!
Cats are always searching for the most strange places to sit. I love that.
