ROMANCING THE KITCHEN xoxo

I spend a great deal of time in my kitchen ..
We had our kitchen re-modelled 6 years ago and I adore it .
so easy to work in and clean
with stone benches and splashbacks.
I waited a long time for this kitchen and it was worth it !!!!
I thought I would share some shots with you.



 a wide view 
 my marble pears sit on a pewter dish 
 collectables
 some more of my pewter collectables

 I have been collecting these pewter items for years !!

an old string holder .. gorgeous huh ????
love this pewter stuff !!! xoxoxo

thanks for dropping by and hope you enjoyed the tour
of my kitchen

lots of hugz to you all
love Heather x
hope you have a great weekend 
I am teaching a mini book tomorrow .

    Heather, Heather, Heather! I came to congratulate you on your new DT at TCR but can't see anything about it here...saw you chose one of the featured projects and thought YAY! You must have got onto the DT???? Anyway, I do hope that is the case! You are such a colour expert after all!! Cor blimey that's a gorgeous kitchen!! You need to get that onto Pinterest!! My kitchen is about one quarter of that size and full of cute colourful stuff. I have the same floor though & also lovely wooden counters and granite tops but it is nowhere near as slick as yours! Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos - they will be great for scrapping with too!!
