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!
