A few weeks ago I mentioned we were planning to make some updates to our kitchen, including a new paint color. I'm loving how bright our kitchen feels now (just in time for spring!).
The day after A's birthday party, I went on a kitchen cleaning frenzy. You know those days... the ones where you need a room (or the whole house) to be immaculate? I had one of those days. And what better day to take pictures of the space, right? Looking back at these gives me a little inspiration to go put some more stuff away ;)
Here's our hutch updated for spring:
And a close up of the new artwork...
These pictures are of Times Square and E 41st Street in Manhattan. My in-laws found them in C's grandfather's house after he had passed away, and thought that I'd like them since NYC is close to my heart. C and I met in the city, and I have worked there for the last 10 years. I had the printed matted, and bought distressed black frames from The Rusty Roof. I'm obsessed with these pictures. The larger one (not shown) is dated from 1937, so I assume the entire set is around 75 years old!
And as a reminder, here are some of the "before" pictures:
SO much brighter!
We have one new project for the kitchen coming up soon, and I might need some help from you guys in making the decision of what to go with. I'll be sharing this week, so be sure to check back soon!

ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is so pretty and I am with you, I love to have mine spotless. The hutch is so pretty with your spring touches and really love that it is not so packed full of things you can't appreciate your vignette. What a treasure to have the picture of NY and you did a fabulous job of framing them.
ReplyDeleteI would love it if you would line this to my Inspire Me party that is ongoing.
