Bachman's Spring Ideas House- Part Two- The Kitchen...

 

In my last post, I introduced you to the Bachman's Idea House!  In this post, I want to share the charming kitchen!  When you walk into the room, you are struck by the bright and cheery colors... just look at this fun window treatment...
An old carpenter's bench serves as a breakfast bar and a great work station for making cupcakes!  Notice the paper towel holder- it's made from a paint roller!
I love the whimsical chandelier, made with vintage silverware...
This wall was really cute with the graphic EAT sign, the trays made into magnet message boards, and silverware made into towel hooks...
Above the stove, they built a fun pot rack, and there's a fun chalkboard painted on the wall...
On the stovetop, they had this fun spoon rest made from an old jar (don't ask me how they melted it, must be an artisan who works with glass)~

Here's a fun built in shelf for glassware or whatever...
And just outside the door they hung an old tape measure to keep track of heights...
Hope you enjoyed the kitchen fun...
Next post I'll show you the living room!  Until next time...
Linda

  23. I LOVE this kitchen, from the apron curtains, and the butcher block counter, the chandelier is sooooo....coool! I like that it is two-tiered.

    I think the tape measure by the door is a great idea. I have one part of door trim that has never been painted because it has my kids heights on there. I never EVER WANT TO PAINT IT...

    Such a nice welcoming kitchen.
    Love it.
