Junk Chic Cottage

Kitchen changes and fun with chalk paint.

When my husband came home the other day from work I told him I wanted to take down a cabinet or two!!!! I got the look!!! Then being the nice guy he is and how he loves to use tools he took down a couple of upper cabinets in my kitchen for me.

A little bit of primer on the wall where the cabinet was.

Then repainted the wall.

My husband made me two new shelves to replace the cabinets.

I wanted to keep the corner cabinet but it needed a little something.

So I painter's taped off the center of the cabinet.

I used some chalk paint about 3 coats and I think it was just the bling the cabinet door needed.

I found this great Cloverfield Dairy sign at TJ Maxx and that cutie was in my cart in no time!!! I then added my every day dishes from the cabinet and a few decorative pieces to the shelves.

Sorry my pictures are not the greatest.  It is hard on a cloudy deary day to get good lighting in my kitchen plus I can only do so much with my little Cannon Sure Shot camera.  

I have had this old black vintage kitchen scale for some time and never had a place in my kitchen for it.  Now I feel like it fits in with the little bit of black above on the shelves.

Added my vintage apron I got at Junk Bonanza.

Added an old tin roof birdhouse I got in Morris and added the birds to the little wreaths and then hung this on my old garden fencing above on the soffits.

Terrible picture of the pretty chandelier I got at the thrift shop. It really is pretty.

I had some little saucers that were missing their coffee cups so I painted the circles in chalk board paint and numbered them with chalk to hang above the sink on the garden fencing.

Loved that I could reuse these some how since I was missing the cups.

I think by losing some of the upper cabinets and using open shelving it opens up my kitchen and it seems brighter.  I had this chippy white cabinet and hung that next to the shelves.  It is made out of old chippy windows and doors.  I love this cabinet and have had it for a long time.  It has traveled around my house to several rooms and now it is taking up residence in the kitchen.

I love having the shelves now it just feels bigger and more open in my kitchen.

My counter chairs needed a little bling added to them too.  I just took some burlap and a hot glue gun to the back of the chairs.

I recovered the chair seats with some old Ralph Lauren gingham sheets I had.  Easy Peasy with the staple gun.

So far I am liking how the Kitchen is coming out. I apologize for the not so great pictures in this kitchen.  With the way the light comes in the room is so hard to get a good picture.  It is amazing with just a few changes how different the feel is in my kitchen.  Thanks for coming by. I love your comments and input.  Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Have A Great Week.
