Display Thursday: Kitchens

I’ve got some serious wall space in my kitchen that is crying for artwork. And since I’m substitute teaching in a Home Ec class today I thought it only appropriate at stick around food. Turns out high school kids are pretty awesome. Plus I know a bunch of them and a hug first thing in the morning is always a great way to start the day. So let’s kick it off with a breakfast of champions!

And speaking of breakfast, I wish I had a breakfast nook. I love love love this space. Big full windows, a banquet and a tulip table? Yes, please. But the photos at the top of the wall, what a perfect extension of the moulding! Uniformity in frames and mats allows for a mix of artwork (perhaps kid art, family photos, or other artwork).

Who says you can’t utilize the cabinet housing your fridge as a canvas? I love how this family incorporated bins, note board as well as artwork. And all of it is coordinated by shades of teal. Perfection!

Even though this is much like the first image in arrangement there is a lot more space between the cabinets and the ceiling. They kept with the color scheme of the kitchen even in the artwork, black and white. I’ve got a chunk of space above my cabinetry and I think something like this would be perfection. A friend of mine asked me when we’re painting my cabinets white. This friend painted hers last fall and is also six months pregnant. I think she’s bonkers! That or she was really happy I made her chocolate covered, heart-shaped, rice krispie treats! Probably the latter.
