Help me with my kitchen!
Posted by: | CommentsWe just were given a kitchen nook like this one, and moving everything around to fit it in has inspired me to de-clutter and actually DECORATE for the first time since we bought the house in 2003! I’ve been putting it off because the whole thing really needs to be gutted and completely re-designed, but we just don’t have the funds for that at all. So I just want to put in some curtains, rip down the wallpaper, paint, repaint the cabinets (they are just awful, I’ll post pics tomorrow), and really spruce it up so we enjoy sitting around in there. Here’s my idea:
IKEA Alvine inspired kitchen design
Start with this collection for inspiration (click the ‘ALVINE Vintage’ tab).
These curtains (perhaps re-cut into this style?) (you can look at the detail of the fabric in the collection link above, click on the ALVINE Vintage tab, then the center pic in the second row)
Alvine Blom duvet cover for cushion covers. Again, you can see the detail so much better in the first link, under the ALVINE Vintage tab, then the first pic in the second row). Maybe the throw pillows for accent – although they will probably just get in the way and get spilled on.
So, questions – what the heck should I paint the kitchen to go with all this floral? Should I paint the cabinets white or navy or red? White with navy and red accents? Our linoleum is hopeless, it’s just gonna have to clash. Any and all suggestions are welcomed!!!
