My Summer Kitchen

I thought I would share some of my summer decorating of my kitchen, I will be taking down all of this in about a week to get ready for painting, finally going to paint those kitchen cabinets I have been talking about doing for years, just a big job, haven't been done in about 25 years, just need to have a little something different, so out the white cabinets go, will share finished kitchen with you later.  We are planning on a new floor and appliances, wish I could push out a few walls, need more space, you know for all my stuff.  I will probably be displaying fall items in my new kitchen when I post pictures again I usually start putting up fall in August.  Hope you enjoy my little tour of my summer kitchen.

I just love the this end of my kitchen, it is very prim, great shelf to display seasonal items.

The old chair was used in a wagon, had gotten it from my aunt.  The punch tin lantern I have just gotten, love how it looks in this corner and my favorite thing I have ever found is the old tool used for syrup preparation, hard to find really good things like this anymore.

This old large bucket bench is one of my favorite finds.  The large brown bowl is old, the green one is a reproduction.  The rabbit I found a few years ago and she stands in my kitchen in the summer.

I love old advertising boxes, here I added a collection of old rolling pins and a doll I just love, she is a Cinnamon Creek doll with an advertising of fresh butter on her apron.

I sat this cabinet on my counter and this is usually where I have my laptop, love the robin, starting to collect birds.

I love green items, so I made a centerpiece for my island for summer using an old sap bucket which I added white flowers and blueberries branches, I had found these at a shop a few years ago and just love using them in arrangements for summer.  The butter crock belonged to my uncle, always will be very special.

Thought I would share my tin collection, usually try to find things in red.  I love to collect peanut butter containers, hard to find.  The coffee tin actually has a handle in the back and the two baking powder contains I love because they have the red labels.

This is a small hanging rack I have at the end of my counter, love to display seasonal towels on it, love the watermelon slice, just perfect for summer.  Hope you enjoyed my little tour, hopefully my kitchen will turn out the way I have planned it.  Hope everyone has a great summer, will share a few more pics of my summer decorating a little later, take care.  Vicky
