A Quick & Simple Kitchen Refresh.

08/03/2019

Change is good for everyone, although I know not everyone will feel the same way about it that I do. I relish a refresh and adore a quick revamp.  I am not fussy, it could be new makeup on my face, prancing around in a new trend re decorating our house, I LOVE CHANGE! I’m even using capitals to shout about it! My latest revamp takes place in a murky unloved corner of my kitchen. A mini kitchen refresh has been long over due…

A quick kitchen refresh with B & A shots

B & A = before and after.

The full story of how our kitchen has evolved over the years can be found in this post. Therefore, I wont go into too much detail, for fear of boring you. Quite honestly I can talk for hours on how to make something out of nothing and if you take a look at the post later you will see how we achieved it in the kitchen almost 9 years ago.

Before:

Focusing on the worktop area, it looks fine I know, but those storage tins are battered and faded, the kitchen roll holder is my yarn holder and I want it back!

Lets take a closer look, see how tired they look?

After:

Fresher, cleaner, minimal more contemporary and well, what more can I say? Revamped! The whole area has a new vibe just by adding four inexpensive new items. I now think we need a new kettle, but dont tell Marc, we have just had to buy a new washing machine!

 

 

 

Hurn and Hurn

Hurn and Hurn are a treasure trove of delightful ‘must have’ items for your home. Perfect for gifts too, (don’t forget mother’s day is at the end of March!) Apart from their own brand they also sell many other covetable contemporary brands such as Bluebellgray. Oh how I love those duvet covers.

To refresh this kitchen corner area I chose:

 

 

 

*Three white Marble effect porcelain storage jars from Bloomingville. Perfect for breakfast teabags, herbal tea bags and of course coffee.

*Wooden Kitchen Roll Holder: Form, function and simplicity at its best.

Proud Muvva ! 
2nd year of his commercial photography degreeand a selection of my boy’s @jacobcramp work can be found in @pierjournal issue 2.
I think he takes timeless portraits. He only uses film and develops his own film too. I won’t mention what he thinks about digital photography ( 😳) 
He is also becoming an very good cook. He cooks for us when he visits. 
I can’t wait to see what the future brings for him.

Me, my dog, a bowl of crochet monsters, coffee brewing and chocolate digestives in the tin. Welcome to my world. I’m so rock ‘n roll it hurts!
.
Book is where the patterns for the monsters can be found, save for reference it’s a good one.

Cashmere and wool from @nomad_slt saved from landfill and made into a warm, soft and squishy top! Pattern by @papercutpatterns I’ve had it years and made lots of T-shirts.

I have a long list of stylish #japanesesewingpatterns I want to sew. They are mainly lightweight dresses and shirts, summer projects. All from these fabulous #japanesesewingbooks in my collection. 
One of my most worn makes was this shirt from the nano Iro book.

A bowl of fossils found on the beach. Large jar of hag stones that Marc brings home for me. A collection of beautiful @penguinclassics from a house clearance sale. An old wooden panel from a skip. An Ikea lamp that is 25 years old. Bits and bobs from boot fairs. 
All this and more makes for a home with spirit and personality and a very pretty #shelfie !
