SNEAK PEEK: PROGRESS IN RETRO KITCHEN

Greetings, dear readers!

I am thrilled today to post a few "sneak peeks" of the kitchen...still deciding about paint or wallpaper, and what fabric valances will work with either/both...but...



I am so excited to have my retro blinds in the windows! It brightens up the whole space! YAY! I also had to hang my cookie jar prints and my new welcome rack made of recycled tin cans! I need to find a groovy retro light switch plate too...

I am not done with the wall where the dutch boy and girl pictures hang...I may hang several of my favorite tags there from the vintage kitchen appliance tag swap...I just HAD to display the little vintage string keep...I am hoping to get red/white twine from Martha Stewart to use eventually, but for now, he is wrapped with "the real deal!"

More soon! Hugs,
Paula Clare

Hi Paula~
Your kitchen looks so cheery. The blinds were a great idea...whoose-ever it was! I love all of your head vases (I don't know the proper name for them) and the way you've displayed them. Great job!

So much eye candy!!! I love your ladies and birds on the window shelves. Great looking blinds, by the way. When I enlarged the picture of the welcome sign and saw what it was made of, well....WOW!! And look at that beautiful tray with the roses. It looks like you're having a ton of vintage fun.
