Coffee In The Kitchen


I redesigned a kitchen for some friends lat week and I am really excited about how it is progressing. We are using a coffee based theme and it is fun and funky and I love it! We started out with the colour scheme – coffee and cream of course! The walls are cream, as are the tiles,but we interspersed some dark choclately brown tiles here and there to add some color. The wallsare looking great with the new cabinetry which was actually the inspiration for the theme. The cabinets themselves were sound so we purchased gorgeous Espresso cabinet doors which offer the warmth of realwood grain but with a rich dark colour. We purchased them from 27estore.com and while shopping there we picked up the perfect interior door featuring an aluminim frame and luxury mocha leather on the door. Yup you read that right! We are putting a leather door in this kitchen!Pretty Cool Huh?

Once all the decorating and the fitting has been done we will need to dress the room of course, so we have been having a blast hanging out at markets and antiques shows and we have picked up some fabulous items including vintage coffee grinders and coffee pots to display on shelves and pot racks. We filled mason jars with various types of coffee beans too. My favourite find though has to be the wall art! We pickd up a box of vintage style coffe shop and coffee themed signs – those old tin advertising things! It cost us $25 and there were about ten in the box! I can't wait to see them on the walls!
