Vintage Cottage Kitchen ~ Inspirations

We have been working away on projects over here...

and it has really been eating into my blog project time 

So thought I would share one of my latest pin-obsessions... 

 Vintage Cottage Kitchens

There are so many aspects that I love about vintage kitchens

These kitchens each have something that talks to me...

The old cupboards covered in paint and charm 

(yes~ those peonies are pretty fabulous too!)

Love the shutters- in white they would be so charming

and those little skirts as doors too.

Wood floors in a kitchen...

yes, please.

painted in shabby colors or patterns... 

and brick will even do~

wow.

A fun kitchen island- 

that didn't necessarily start out as a kitchen island.

The ceiling in this next one~

Gorgeous.

I think the screen door is so cute 

but am loving those stools more!

Old beadboard walls and stone counters

whites with the old shabby table island and the green accents... 

*sigh*

I love vintage inspired kitchens probably as much as the originals

 and the bonus is-

 the drawers would all be on slides and work without falling when you pull them out! 

:)

Would you believe that when we first moved into our house

 we had an old vintage sink in the kitchen

that we took out when we remodeled in favor of having a taller window behind the sink?

Not an apron sink- but one with washboards on the sides.

 I think about that sink even now and though I absolutely love the extra foot of window we gained

I wonder what was I thinking taking it out!

 lol!

These are just a few of the inspirations you can find on my 

Cottage Kitchen Pinterest board 

You can find the links to all the sources there as well.
