Kathy's Cottage Kitchen~

           

Welcome, to Kathy's kitchen...I promise they live here. It's not a store. = ) You could spend hours and hours in here....if you like COTTAGE, you're going to enjoy this!

 

The cloths laying over the chair seats are vintage table runners~ OMGOSH! TOO CUTE!

Kathy lined the back of that cute yellow hutch with scrapebook paper...

Cute chandy came from http://www.laurieannas.blogspot.com/ . You can find it at First Monday Canton, Texas...Curtains, you can find them at Target.

Kathy is blessed with surfaces to decorate and dress! I wish I had this big cottage kitchen!

Egg cups and letter balls can be bought from LaurieAnna's Vintage Home~ http://www.laurieannas.blogspot.com/

This sweet slipcover was created by Gloria at http://www.sweetpeacollection.com/

You can email Gloria and place an order....

A huge vintage tablecloth collector...

Our Daddy did this paper towel holder for Kathy~ she found it in an old store site in New London, Texas where we grew up...It was in sad shape. Daddy cleaned it up, painted the sides black, put a wooden dowel in it, then attached it to the wooden board. Kathy loves this more than anything in her cottage kitchen...

Lovelovelove these plates~ go to this site

OMG!! What a great kitchen....wouldn't want to dust it though....lol. I've been looking for an old suitcase for my dog...I LOVE how she put legs on it....kuddos. I also LOVE the frame around the plate...I have my grandmother's china and wanted to hang some on the wall....what a great way to showcase it. Thanks for sharing.

I can't stop staring. I could look at and study these photos all day. I live south of Houston and might just have to move in with your sister. Her linens alone are enough to make me swoon. It gives me so many ideas. She loves so much of what I love. I have been making pillows and she has pillows aplenty to inspire me.

[Susan Ramey Cleveland]

Are you quite sure this is your sister's kitchen? It looks like a wonderful gift shop. You two are very talented decorators.

This is just like looking at a magazine! Can you teach me how to make my house look like yours and your sisters????

Ok, so I am in love with your sister's house. That wrap around porch is to die for and for heaven sakes, she has so much beautiful white wicker furniture out there. The kitchen is amazing and I cannot wait to see more. This gives me so many ideas and inspiration for our "Rusty Cottage" remodel. Thanks for showing your sister's house off to us. God bless you!!!

[Beverly]

I love Kathy's kitchen. Every single spot oozes charm. I'm so glad you shared. And, thanks for the link for plates.

Thanks so much for sharing your sister's house. What a dynamic duo the two of you are! I so appreciate your generosity in sharing all of your ideas (and now your sister's decorating). You inspire me to play in my home too!

[ceekay]

I LOVE your sister's kitchen. Unbelievable. That yellow hutch is incredible...I love the bloom balls in the egg cups, the dog bed. I need to put my house on steroids...make it bigger and do some of that. Man, she has the touch. The two of you together shopping must be a blast..oops, just gave my age away there!!
Thank you for taking all those pics and taking the time to post them!! Can't wait too see more.

[Lisa]

OK~ that's it! I'm leaving Ohio and coming to Texas...one of you will have to let me move in as I love both of your houses! Thanks for the de-lish eyecandy~ can't wait to see the rest of the house

Hi Tina,

Be sure to give Kathy a big hug from us, and also a big thank you to YOU for sharing her lovely home with us!

I think I would be perfectly happy and comfortable being in both your homes. They radiate warmth and charm!

You, Kathy, Mika and Tambi..what creativity! It's just got to be in those genes. :-)

Looking forward to seeing more pics, and a great big WELCOME HOME to you.

OH MY! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I am so very inspired as Kathy and I share the same wall color. I have builder's grade oak cabinets and have been debating on whether to go light or dark with them. Now I know....white it is! Also, I love her red island with the beadboard. I had already decided to go red with mine as well.

This indeed does look more like a darling shop than a lived in kitchen. Bravo to her, for it looks maaavelous. You guys must have tons of fun together.
